Bello Mohammed is a former Flying Eagles player during the 1999 era but he was spotted in Abuja working as a security guard.

Not all dreams come true for players seeking to make a career out of playing football and a perfect example is the case of former Nigerian U-20 international Bello Mohammed.

The ex-Nigerian international who according to reports is now a security guard in Abuja once played for the top sides in the country including  El-Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri, Yobe Dessert Stars, and Zamfara United.

Bello Mohamed’s story in brief

Nicknamed ‘Bello Sudan’, Mohammed shared the dressing with the likes of Dele Ayenugba, late Justice Christopher, Austin Ejide among other during the 1999-2000 set of the Flying Eagles.

His colleagues earned hard currencies while playing for top clubs in Europe and the Super Eagles before calling it quits.

However, it is unfortunate that Mohammed did not realize his childhood ambition of becoming a football superstar like his colleagues who made it through to the senior national team.

It is understood that Mohammed who once wore the green and white colours of Nigeria is now a watchman at a facility in Abuja, the country’s capital.
