Her body was taken to the General Hospital, Ilorin, where she was finally confirmed dead, at about 4 p.m.

The search for the late Olufunke began when it was discovered that she was not at the stadium as at 12 noon when all the other officials were supposed to converge for the commencement of the final ceremony of the competition.

The Director, Grassroots Sports Development at the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, Alhaji Ali Durotoye, was among top administrators that went to the general hospital where she was confirmed dead.

The Saturday final of the competition was however postponed to Sunday as a sign of respect for the decessed. NAN
