Togo goalkeeper Kodjovi Dodji Obilale is reported to have died from his wounds in the wake of the attack on their team at the African Cup of Nations in Angola.

He is now the fourth person to have died as a result of the attack but the first playing member of the squad to have passed away.

The driver of the bus died instantly while the team’s spokesman and assistant coach also passed away on Saturday morning.

Obilele was shot in the attack and his team-mate - striker Jonathan Ayite - confirmed he had died of his injuries.

He told French radio station RMC: "He (Obilale) is dead and even if you bring the president and even (Barack) Obama himself, we're leaving immediately, we're going back home.

“Ghana and the Ivory Coast are in solidarity with us."

The coach of Obilale's club - French amateur side Pontivy - Alain Le Dour added on L'Equipe: "We have been called to give us this news (of his death) but we have not yet had it in an official manner.

"It is very difficult to have more precise information. Yesterday we didn't know where he took a bullet.

"We were told that he was successfully operated on and we talked about a transfer to South Africa. Officially we don't know any more."
