Over 30 Football Fans Electrocuted In Calabar Viewing Centre(Graphic pics) by LeSammy: 7:53am On Apr 21, 2017 |
A man who survived the tragic incident that led to the electrocution of over 30 people at a football viewing centre in Calabar, capital of Cross River state, has his stars to thank. A high tension cable reportedly fell on the football fans as they were watching a UEFA Europa league quarter-final match between Manchester United and Anderlecht. Manchester United won the match 3-2 aggregate, with Marcus Rashford netting the winner in the 107th minute. Speaking with Punch after the encounter, the survivor said a transformer near the viewing centre located in the Iyang-Esu area of Calabar municipal local government area, exploded during the match. He reportedly said this caused a high-tension cable to drop on the viewing centre. “It happened during the match between Manchester United and Anderlecht. I heard a deafening bang. I rushed out to see what was happening,” he was quoted as saying. “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.” Cc; Seun Lalasticlala

This is heart breaking.. leaving your home to watch a boring match by two boring teams and meeting your end.. If it was Barcelona playing, GOD would have prevented the cable from falling.. GOD BLESS BARCELONA. |
