Thunder Strike Kills Referee During Friendly Match In Niger by ManirBK: 5:50pm On Jun 14, 2023
A friendly football match in Madalla town
Niger State, turned into mourning
following the sudden death of a referee
who was reportedly hit by a thunder
strike.
The deceased simply known as Mustafa
Coach 02 among football fans and said to be
a member of the Nigerian Football
Federation (NFA), met his tragic death
Tuesday evening during the match played in
the community’s primary and secondary
schools’ field.
An eyewitness, Muhammed Musa, said 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.

“They were only at the centre of the pitch
when the thunder struck. Two of them were
rushed to a hospital, where Sulaiman was
confirmed dead on arrival while his
assistant was revived.”
A family member of the deceased, who
simply gave his name as Ibrahim, said
Ibrahim was buried Wednesday morning in
Suleja town where he lived.https://dailytrust.com/thunder-strike-kills-football-referee-in-niger/
