Bomb-blast survivor resumes training

Plateau United midfielder Olayinka Olaniyi has returned to training almost two years after he was almost killed in a bomb blast in Jos.

Olayinka was badly injured by a bomb blast that exploded around Angwa Rukuba area of Jos in December 2010.

He was operated on his left leg twice at ECWA Evangel Hospital, Jankwanu, Jos

The former Gombe United play-maker has been training for about three weeks now with a team in Jos and will join any interested team next season.

"I thank God for my life, it was hell while the horrible experience of the bomb blast lasted. It is over now as I am back to myself. I have been training intensively and playing with a local team in Jos,” he announced.

“I am fit again to return to professional football next season."
