Trouble For Nigeria as CAF Doctor Dies After Fans' Invasion of Abuja Stadium | Daily Report Nigeria

There appears to be more trouble for the Nigerian Football Federation following the death of a Confederation of Africa Football’s doping doctor, Dr. Joseph Kabungo.

Kabungo, who is a Zambian medical practitioner, reportedly died after Ghana stopped Nigeria from qualifying for the 2022 World Cup on Tuesday, in Abuja.

Though, the true cause of Kabungo’s death remain sketchy, two varying versions have been reported.

While one report attributed the deceased’s death to the stampede that occurred at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium before the commencement of the match, another account blamed the invasion of the stadium by fans after the match.

No official statement has been made by either of the Nigeria Football Federation or CAF, to confirm the doctor’s death.

However, British-Nigerian journalist, Osasu Obayiuwana, confirmed the doctor’s death after he was rushed to a hospital.

Osasu tweeted, “Sad news: I understand that an official for the
@NGSuperEagles vs @GhanaBlackstars
match (not a referee or assistant referee) died in #Abuja today.

“His name is Dr Joseph Kabungo from Zambia. He was on duty as Doping officer. He collapsed suddenly and died. Cause of death not confirmed yet. His family, the Zambia FA and the government of Zambia have been duly informed.

“If the death of #Zambian doctor Dr Joseph Kabungo at the #Abuja stadium was caused by being attacked by the #Nigerian fans who invaded the pitch, after the @NGSuperEagles lost the
@FIFAWorldCup ticket to @GhanaBlackstars
@thenff would be in terrible trouble with @FIFAcom.”

Meanwhile, a Ghanaian sports journalist, Collins Atta Poku, who was also at the venue of the match, alleged that the doctor was beaten to death.

Replying to Osasu’s tweet, Poku said, “They beat him, he fell and they throded on him. He lost consciousness was rushed to an ambulance closer to the Ghana dressing for CPR. The entire Ghanaian contingent watched on as resuscitation attempts were made with oxygen mask. He was taken to hospital later and now this. Sad.”

The deceased was a former Mufulira Wanderers goalkeeper, and once served as Chongwe and Siavonga District Chief Health Medical Officer.
