Emenike, Teammates Escape Death In Turkey by Nobody: 7:44am On Apr 06, 2015
Fenerbahce have called for the suspension of the Turkish championship following the gun attack on their team bus on their Nigerian forward Emmanuel Emenike and teammates on Saturday.

Emenike who replaced Alper Potuk in the 57th minute of the encounter that saw his compatriot Godfrey Oboabona benched saw his side’s bus a come under armed attack as it drove to the airport after their 5-1 away win at Caykur Rizespor in Turkey’s Super Lig.

Fener said on their official website the bus driver was wounded in the attack and taken to hospital and there was no mention of any injuries to anyone else.

A statement on the club’s official website on Sunday said: ‘We consider that as long as this attack is not solved in a way that satisfies Fenerbahce and public opinion, a suspension of the championship is inevitable.

‘Blood ran and football was silenced. Finding and punishing the culprits is of vital importance for Fenerbahce.’

Following the incident, Fener midfielder Mehmet Topal told Sky News: ‘We cheated death. God protect us. I hope our driver will be all right. Words fail me. It’s unbelievable.’

The club posted several pictures of the bus on their website after the attack which showed a shattered side window and damage to the front windscreen.
