Nigeria To Face FIFA Sanction Over Fans Pitch Invasion; CAF Doctor's Déath

 


A doping doctor with the Confederation of Africa Football (CAF), Dr. Joseph Kabungo died shortly after Ghana stopped Nigeria from qualifying for the 2022 World Cup on Tuesday, March 29. Kabungo, a Zambian medical practitioner, was said to have died as a result of the stampede that occurred at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja before the commencement of the match. 

However, another account blamed fans’ invasion of the pitch after the match for the doctor’s death. 

Punch newspaper reports that neither officials of the Nigeria Football Federation nor CAF have confirmed the doctor’s death. 

The BBC reports that the Federation of International Football Associations will take a dim view of scenes at the Abuja stadium that requires considerable explaining from both Nigerian security and football officials. Angry spectators pelted players with water bottles - forcing them to cower and cover their heads as they battled their way down the tunnel following a mass pitch invasion.

We only kiss, touch ourselves and he doesn’t go further because he believes I’m saving myself for marriage. Wahala burst three weeks ago when he took me to see his parents. After all...
