No fewer than 9 persons watching the UEFA Europa League
match between Manchester United and Anderlecht Football clubs died by
electrocution at a viewing centre in Calabar, Cross River State
One of the victims is 14-year-old Blessing Okon Udo, an
ardent Manchester United fan. Tearfully narrating what happened, father
of the deceased, Okon Udo said:
“I was away for work. When I came back, I understood there
was a problem. I saw my daughter among the victims so I had to rush her
to the hospital and she was certified dead. Her death is a big loss”
Recalling Blessing’s love for footbalL, he said: “She was a
football lover. She even played football and I did not know she used to
go there and watch football. This incident was the first time I knew
she came here to watch football. She was a student at Holy Secondary
School. She was in SS3 and was going to write her WAEC last month.
