Man Machetes Ghanaian For Mocking Eagles In Lagos During Iran Vs Nigeria Match - Sports

On Monday night at Ilasan area of Lekki, Lagos,
during the barren World Cup match between
Nigeria and Iran, 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.
