In a statement released by the family on Saturday, it was confirmed that Uche passed away on June 17 at the age of 51.
“Uche was a cherished member of our family—deeply loved, kind-spirited, full of life, and devoted to those around him. He is survived by his four children, his parents, and siblings, including Churchill Oliseh and his immediate elder brother, Sunday Oliseh, former Nigerian footballer and national team coach,” the family said in the statement.
“The family is grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time and asks for continued prayers as we mourn this profound loss.”
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Sunday Oliseh shared an emotional tribute to his late brother, writing:
“Sadly, I lost my brother, Uche Levi Oliseh, on Thursday after a brief illness with malaria fever.”
He continued, “It hurts so bad, like I have never felt before. I have over a million things that I would wanna talk, laugh and do with Uche, but sadly I cannot anymore.”
The passing of Uche Oliseh marks a painful moment for the family, as tributes continue to pour in from friends, fans, and well-wishers across the country.
