Shiva played for multiple football clubs, including French FC Nantes, and rounded off his career in 2016.
The player partook in 24 matches as part of the national Gabonese squad from 2000 to 2008, netting five goals.

This isn’t the first time a footballer has been linked with the extremely murky world of ritual killings.
In 2014, former Rennes and Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan was forced to deny rumours he had been involved in the sacrificial murder of his friend, Ghanaian rapper Castro.
A statement released by the Gyan family attacked the media in Ghana for “wild allegations and rumours … ranging from the absurd – of the imputation of criminality to [Gyan] in the sense that he either murdered Castro or had him kidnapped – and ending with the ludicrous – that he sacrificed him spiritually to enhance his career.”
