Avoid open space when a storm approaches.

And when in an open field in a storm, by all means don't be the highest point! Lightening bolt strikes the highest point/s.

May Allah forgive his shortcomings and admit him to His Eternal Mercy. (Ameen)

On a very serious note, my condolences to the bereaved.

A referee identified as Mustapha Bello was killed after being struck by lightning during a friendly football match in Madalla town, Niger State, IGBERETV reports.

Mustapha Bello, member of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFA) who was popularly known as Mustafa Coach 02 among football fans, met his tragic end on Tuesday evening, June 13, 2023, during the match played in the community’s primary and secondary schools’ field.

The match in which Suleja and Madalla youths participated, was on half time break around 5:20 pm when the incident happened.

“It was raining and all the footballers along with their fans were taken refuge inside the school’s classrooms. The referee along with his assistant (line man) rushed back to the field, demanding the players to join them,” an witness explained.

"They were only at the centre of the pitch when the thunder struck. Two of them were rushed to a hospital, where the referee was confirmed dead on arrival while his assistant was revived.”

A family member of the deceased identified as Ibrahim, said Ibrahim was buried Wednesday morning in Suleja town where he lived.

Permit to say u are a BIG Fool! If u know where it happened, you should know that where it happened is a boundary between FCT and Niger state.

That was a terrible mistake... An avoidable incident!

In a flat land with no nearby trees or tall polls close by, it's just common sense safety to avoid open fields during rainstorms.

Very tragic. While you might hold others views, it's purely an accident. May Allah grant him aljanat Firdaus.
