World Cup Qualifier: Stampede At Uyo Stadium Leaves Many Injured by bodmannoni: 7:17am On Oct 08, 2017
Many fans of Nigeria’s Super Eagles were left injured on Saturday following a stampede that marred the team’s victory over Zambia in a FIFA World Cup qualifying fixture.

The stampede was said to have occurred at the entrance of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, capital of Akwa Ibom state where the Super Eagles played the Chipolopolo of Zambia.

There was commotion at some of the entry points of the stadium as thousands of Nigerian football lovers who had gathered at the stadium tried to enter the stadium. Some of the football fans were allegedly attacked with sticks by soldiers deployed to the venue to control the crowd.

Journalists reported seeing bloodstains around the gate of the stadium in the aftermath of the stampede while policemen and Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) officials were seen standing beside some unconscious fans.

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.
