Nigeria Vs Zambia: Five Feared Dead, Scores Injured During Stadium Stampede by emma321(m): 7:13am On Oct 08, 2017 |
The incident happened while football fans were trying to enter the stadium during the World Cup qualifier against Zambia. The fans were allegedly beaten by soldiers at the gates of the stadium with heavy sticks. According to Punch, the stampede occurred as the crowd tried to avoid the soldiers’ sticks. The newspaper reports that bloodstains were around the gate of the stadium, while policemen and personnel of the Federal Road Safety Corps were seen standing beside some unconscious fans. Some of the fans claimed they escaped death by the whiskers. A female fan, Aniema Ekong, said, “I thank God that I’m alive. This is not the first time this kind of incident had occurred. In fact, in every major tournament, there is always a tale of woes to tell about security agents injuring or killing people.” Another fan who identified himself as Chukwudi, said his girlfriend was severely injured by the security personnel manning the gate. He said, “I don’t know why there is always trouble in this stadium.” Ambulances were seen conveying injured persons to the hospital. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Elkana Bala, however, claimed that no one died. He told the newspaper, “It is confirmed that nobody died. But some persons were injured while struggling to gain access into the stadium. The injured persons were taken to hospital for medical attention.” Photos: http://anstalk.com/nigeria-vs-zambia-five-feared-dead-scores-injured-stadium-stampede/ lalasticlala 2 Shares

Nigerians are easily treated like animals by these bloody sojas...I think its time sojas should be caught and beaten at corners nationwide to inflict fear on them so they start acting right. 107 Likes 4 Shares |

The cabal is at it again. They want to give the stadium a bad so they can move super Eagles 'home' to kaduna. Otherwise, why would soldiers stay at the gates to beat fans? Are the fans terrorists too? 48 Likes 2 Shares |

Anyway, if this isn't truly falsity, then I don't blame those soldiers. Nigerians at times behave like animals, they wouldn't want to be patient, therefore resulting to a free-for-all. Those soldiers wouldn't have resulted to beating them without any cause. Find out sincerely what happened and you'll know those soldiers weren't faulty. 2 Likes |
