A mild drama unfolded Monday night at Ilasan area
of Lekki, Lagos, during the barren World Cup match between Nigeria
and Iran, after a drunk went berserk and macheted some viewers for
mocking the Super Eagles.
One of the viewers, a Ghanaian, was said to have
sustained deep cuts while others managed to escape from the viewing
centre.
Reports said the drunk, identified as Sunday
Usman, was in a bar which also served as a viewing centre alongside
other football lovers, when the Ghanaian identified simply as Kofi,
started booing the Super Eagles over their failed attempts to score a
goal.
At that point, an eye witness said: “Usman
staggered to his feet and warned Kofi to stop showing solidarity with
Iran. But Kofi continued, saying he had every right to support
whichever team he liked. Some viewers, who were also not satisfied
with the Super Eagles performance, supported Kofi.
“Usman left the bar, threatening to deal with
Kofi . We all thought he had gone to sleep. But to our surprise, he
came at the tail end of the match, dangling a cutlass which he used
on anyone at sight. Kofi could not escape. He had the deepest cut.
“We all fled for our lives and by the time we
summoned courage and disarmed the drunk, Kofi was found on the ground
in a pool of his blood.”
Kofi was reportedly rushed to an undisclosed
private hospital, where he is responding
to treatment.
