Alabi stated that Yusuf Usein was a very hardworking, easy-going, loyal, very dedicated, and God-fearing player.
He said, ”It is so unfortunate that we have lost Usein and we pray that God will forgive him and grant him eternal rest. He was a good and dedicated player when he was playing for us in Ogbomoso.”
