30 football viewers feared dead in Calabar viewing centre electrocution tragedy


No fewer than 30 persons watching the Europa League football match between Manchester United and Anderlecht perished at Nyahasang, Atimbo, Calabar, Cross River State, last night

A survivor said that a transformer near the viewing centre exploded during the match and this caused a high-tension cable to drop on the viewing centre. The survivor said: “I heard a deafening bang. I rushed out to see what was happening

When I turned back to go inside the viewing centre, I saw a cable coming down on the centre and this electrocuted the viewers in the hall. “It was a horrible sight to behold. I wish I didn’t come out to watch the match

Come to think of it, I have DStv at home but I enjoy watching matches at viewing centres. I could have been dead. I can’t believe that the people I was chatting and joking with a few minutes ago are all gone in a most anguishing way. This world is vain.”

A resident said more than 80 persons were in the hall when the cable came down. The resident said, “The whole thing happened within a minute or two. It happened about 9:48pm. Those that died have been taken to the mortuary. A few that survived have been taken to hospitals.”

A man believed to be a professor at the Federal University, Ndufu-Alike Ikwo, Ebonyi State and a pregnant woman are among seven people that died in a multiple motor accident at the Ezzamgbo axis of the ever-busy Abakaliki-Enugu expressway on Thursday evening.
All the victims gave up the ghost on the spot and their bodies were evacuated and taken to FETHA II, Abakaliki.
The accident was said to have been caused by poor visibility arising from the over four-hour heavy down pour in Ebonyi State on Thursday evening.
An eyewitness said that a trailer and a Toyota Camry from opposite directions had a head-on collision resulting in partial blockage of the road. This lead to the death of the said professor and his driver on the spot.
A young man said to be the professor’s son and a woman whose identity could not be ascertained as of the time of filing this report were said to have survived the accident but with life threatening injuries.
It was gathered that while sympathizers were racing to the scene, a Hyundai i carrying five passengers rammed into the trailer killing all the occupants.
Officials of the Federal Road Safety who arrived the scene of the accident immediately blocked the other part of the road and evacuated the dead bodies.
As of 6am on Friday, the road safety officials and the Chairman of the Ebonyi State Emergency Management Agency, Evangelist Ephraim Ononye were seen pulling the Hyundai i and the white Camry with registration number FUNAI 51-D26-FG off the road.
