 Carl Ikeme the former Super Eagles keeper who was diagnosed with acute Leukemia a year ago has revealed how his wife reacted to his diagnosis. Ikeme said his wife, Saba, about to give birth when he was first diagnosed with blood cancer but had to tell her what was wrong even in her fragile state. 
“She was the first person I told. I was obviously upset, as you would be after that sort of news,” Ikeme said. “I was in shock. I got back home and thought: ‘I need to tell Saba.’ I called her and I couldn’t get it out on the phone, but she knew something was up. I got back and Saba came in and I told her the news. She was nine months pregnant at the time, due next week. I’ve never seen her cry the way she cried. It was tough.”  Photo Credit: Getty
