A heavy downpour accompanied by lightning struck a group of footballers and their referee in Issele-Azagba, Aniocha North local government area of Delta State, leaving two dead and 10 injured.

The tragic event occurred on Tuesday, as the footballers were engaged in a match when the lightning struck. “It was like a scene from a horror movie,” said an eyewitness. “The lightning came out of nowhere, and before we knew it, two of the players were lying motionless on the ground.”

The deceased were identified as 22-year-old Chijioke Ogbonna and 25-year-old Emeka Ogbu. The injured players were rushed to the nearby hospital, where they are receiving treatment.
