The Celebration that followed the 4-3 victory of the Super Eagles of Nigeria over their South African counterparts on Wednesday has claimed the life of one person in Lokoja, Kogi State capital.

DAILY POST gathered that the victim identified as Lukman was in his late twenties.

The sad incident was said to have occurred along the ever busy Murtala Mohamed way in Lokoja when the deceased was celebrating the victory of the Super Eagles with his motorcycle before he was knocked down by a vehicle.

It was further learnt that the deceased and his friend living behind Igbo hall, around cemetery road, a suburb of Lokoja metropolis, had joined other people to celebrate Super Eagles victory.

“Unfortunately, they drove against traffic, leading to the death of Lukman who was carried behind, while his friend sustained serious injury,” s source disclosed.

Late Lukman, has however, been buried according to Islamic rites in the Kabawa area of the state capital.

Learn to do things in moderation

Another one ?!

We knew this was serious and true when we saw the Super Eagles of Nigeria 🇳🇬 saying a prayer for the (4 initially) departed souls after one minute silence for them all last night before dinner.

From all of us at MANNA : May their souls Rest in Perfect peace.

Come Sunday,
We shall win the Trophy 🏆 for them all BGG.

God bless all sane, honest, patriotic and hardworking Nigerians.

God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬

All man must die

Damnnn niggar

We must use sense

Though I also celebrated here with my lexus Es 350 on a fast and Furious mode
But I must tell you I applied sense

This victory carry death o i pray we will for their honours. May their souls rest in peace , na one thing dey kill man. Theirs follow excitement

This is so bad. People dying because of football match. Shows how unhealthy many people are.

Please avoid physical altercation with anyone during this time. Lot of people haven’t eaten in days and their bodies are giving up already
Anybody that fights and throw punch with me now should be ready to pay medical bills as I haven’t eaten good food for days .
May God deliver us from Nigeria

Pathetic .

Over 5 dead due to the heat from the game. Well, this is not a new thing because am sure many Nigerian fans have died while watching our team played. I can remember the saddness of many when we watched the defeat of Nigeria by Italy @USA 94 world cup at Trenchard Hall, our defeat by Cameroun in several finals, and many over celebrating after victories have rushed to early grave. Only that communication is facilitating more people to watch a game at the same time these days and allowing the spread of news like this.

If you know you gat no strong heart, avoid watching your national team play. National team is different from club football if you don't know name you know it better ask GK Stanley Nwabali, some players and coaches why they always looked away from the game when they're teams are playing penalty kicks AND CELEBRATE MODERATELY

I mean while, Fulani boys were rubbing at home.. I thank God for my our (me and my mum)... If the strike doesn't hold am.off to Lagos. North do tire me cold and insecurity

I think this didn't start this year. It has been happening for decades when alot of citizens were more patriotic about our country but the difference now is that there's social media to share the news across. RIP, Super Eagles will deliver.

Hardship pressure/tension + penalties tension =

OMO MAKE UNA SEE OO

THIS IS URGENT. If you are BASED in Nigeria you must watch the video below that shows how to survive and escape the Newest 'Twiter' One chance robbery in Nigeria, Dont say you were not warned

How many go die when we win the cup?

R.I.P to him.

It's like the casualties of that match are on the increase as it's reported day by day.
What if it was uzoho was in the post

Ok oo

Good

What again ?

This one is NOT on Super Eagles. It's on STUPIDITY.

Celebrating a win in the semi-finals is not an excuse to drive against traffic. That's illegal!

Don't pin this on SEs.

we should not win final again, people are dieing

ghetto deceased living around IGBO HALL,behind CEMETERY road .Mercy Lord.
Thank God,Nig won that semi,if not .May we NOT see EVIL.

Pls, if u aren't strong enuf,dnt watch football,or swim.It is not for the WEAKLING. Back in Nig,I'll rather wait till I hear the roaring noise of GOALLLLL or if neighbours dey switched off gen,we knw wetin happen 🤔🤔.Watching football ⚽️ with HBP,nah suicide

Why are ppl dieing like this naw,
I lost a very good business partner due to the celebration of that match,young man in his 40s just died and left four kids for his wife.
To celebrate the win he went to drink with his friends,had too much and was involved in a fatal accident while coming home.
Pls let every one be careful on how they celebrate if Nigeria should win the cup

Not again.
