Touching Story of How Former Nigerian International Becomes Security Guard in Abuja

• Bello Mohammed was one of the biggest players in the Nigerian Professional League
• The Kano-born former player started his career on the streets before joining Zamfara United
• Mohammed is currently struggling in Abuja to survive after quitting the game of football

Former Nigerian youth international, Bello Mohammed has been spotted in Abuja working as a security guard a few years after he quit football due to challenges and injury problems.

In 1999 and the early 2000s, Bello Mohammed was one of the biggest players in the Nigerian League, when he was playing for El-Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri.

His style of play can be compared with that of former Arsenal captain, Cesc Fabregas, whose manner of distributing passes in the midfield was top-notch.

The target of Bello Mohammed was to play in Europe, but the former Zamfara United captain didn't know that that dream would not come true.
