Justice Christopher, a former Super Eagles midfielder, has reportedly been found dead at his hotel in Gwolshe, Jos, Plateau State, on Wednesday.
Report says he was spotted with his friends on Tuesday, full of life and showed no signs of a health problem.
Christopher was a member of a number of clubs including Katsina United, Sharks F.C., Bendel Insurance, Antwerp (Belgium), Levski Sofia (Bulgaria), Trelleborgs FF (Sweden), Alania Vladikavkaz (Russia) and Herfølge Boldklub (Denmark).
The 41 year old started his retirement following the 2006–07 season, but he got back into the game on October 21, 2012, when he signed with Nasarawa United.
Plateau State Police Command has yet to confirm his death as of the time of reporting. However, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has reacted to his demise.
“This is devastating. Justice Christopher was young and full of life. His death is a thing of deep sorrow here at the NFF and the entire Nigeria Football ambience. There was no report that he was ill. We are stunned to hear of his death.
“We pray that God will grant him eternal rest and comfort the family that he has left behind.”
