Last week, we had reported that over 30 people reportedly lost their lives at a football viewing centre in Calabar, after high tension electricity cable broke from its mooring and fell on the roof of the building.
But according to the official police report, the high-tension cable which fell inside the viewing centre in Calabar killed seven people and injured several others who were watching Manchester United’s Europa League game against Anderlecht.
The football fans were said to have assembled at the centre to watch a UEFA Europa League quarter-final match between Manchester United and Anderlecht on satellite television, a game the host won 2-1 (3-2) on aggregate to advance to the semi-final.
