After the Nigeria vs. Iran World Cup match that ended in a scoreless
draw, many fans of the Super Eagles were upset about the outcome of the game.
However, one man Sunday Usman, was so upset, that he allegedly
attacked some viewers, including a Ghanaian for mocking the Nigerian team for
their inability to score a goal, Vanguard reports.
Usman was reportedly drunk when he attacked the fans on Monday night
at a football viewing center in the Ilasan area of Lekki, Lagos.
The Ghanaian fan named Kofi, was said to have sustained deep cuts
while others managed to escape from the viewing centre.
According to an eyewitness account, here is how the incident occurred:
“…Kofi, started booing the Super Eagles over their failed attempts to
score a goal.
Usman staggered to his feet and warned Kofi to stop showing solidarity
with Iran. But Kofi continued, saying he had every right to support whichever
team he liked. Some viewers, who were also not satisfied with the Super Eagles
performance, supported Kofi.
Usman left the bar, threatening to deal with Kofi . We all thought he
had gone to sleep. But to our surprise, he came at the tail end of the match,
dangling a cutlass which he used on anyone at sight. Kofi could not escape. He
had the deepest cut.
We all fled for our lives and by the time we summoned courage and
disarmed the drunk, Kofi was found on the ground in a pool of his blood.”
Kofi was reportedly rushed to a private hospital, where he is
responding to treatment.
