We bring you photos of the survivors who escaped death following the
tragedy that saw at least 30 football fans die after a high tension wire
fell on a viewing centre during Manchester United league clash with
Anderlecht yesterday in Calabar, Cross River State.
The
state governor, Prof. 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.
He commiserated with families of the victims, and promised that the
state government will look into the likely cause of the incident with a
view to preventing a reoccurence.
