The survivors being treated
Here is a photo of the survivors which escaped death following the
tragedy which saw at least 30 football fans die after a high tension
pole wire fell on a viewing centre during Manchester United Europa
league clash with Anderlecht yesterday in Calabar, Cross River State.
Cross River State governor, Professor Ben Ayade has described as
tragic and horrifying the loss of several lives at a viewing centre in
Calabar, the state capital. A horrified Ayade said it was heartwrenching
that the lives of the young men were lost in such a gripping manner
through electrocution.
The governor, according to a statement signed by his Senior Special
Assistant on Media and Chief Press, Mr Christian Ita, said the incident
marks a dark chapter in the life of the state.
While commiserating with the families of the victims of the
tragedy, the governor promised that the state government will look into
the likely cause of the incident with a view to preventing a
reoccurence.
