The gifted footballer was reported to have been killed by a police officer after he was mistaken for a suspected internet fraudster (Yahoo boy).

The police had denied the narrative, stating that the deceased was knocked down by a hit-and-run driver, while trying to escape, after he had been arrested.

Sanni Abubakar, his team mate who was with him when the incident occurred, however, said that Kazeem was pushed out of the vehicle and knocked down by an oncoming vehicle.
