The Nigerian football club, CSN Lagos, has announced the retirement of their defender, Akpembe, after sustaining injuries during the recent season.

Akpembe joined the team in 2017 and had been one of the most reliable players on the team, helping them to win several league titles and cups. However, his injury has forced him to retire early.

The club has expressed its sadness over Akpembe's retirement, describing him as a "true professional" who always put the team first. He was known for his hard work and dedication to the game, and his departure is a great loss to the team.

Akpembe's retirement comes at a time when the team needs all the support it can get. The club is currently facing a tough challenge with relegation looming, and losing such a key player would be a setback.

Despite the setback, the club remains hopeful that they will find ways to overcome the challenges ahead and continue to compete at the highest level. They have also promised to honor Akpembe's legacy by continuing to promote the values he stood for, including discipline, teamwork, and respect for opponents.

In conclusion, Akpembe's retirement is a significant blow to CSN Lagos, but the club remains committed to supporting their new captain, Nwabueze, and building a strong team to continue their fight for promotion.
