Kano Pillars FC players, Bature Yaro and Kamal Sikiru were involved in a ghastly car accident on Wednesday afternoon, Freekicknaija.com.ng reports.

The duo was on their way to  Kano after the Christmas holidays to prepare for the Nigeria Professional Football League 2018/2019 season when the vehicle they were travelling in was caught up in flames.

The 2016 CHAN Eagle posted on his Facebook page saying, “God thanks for saving me and kamal from this on our way back to kano today No serious injury bt nothing was been taking from the car.”

Thankfully the accident did not claim any life and only minor injuries were sustained.
