Photos have emerged showing the faces of ardent Manchester United fans including a 14-year-old girl identified as Blessing Okon Udo, who were electrocuted to death while watching the UEFA Europa League match between United and Anderlecht at a viewing centre in Calabar, Cross River State, have emerged online.
While narrating what happened on the fateful day, the father of the deceased little girl, Okon Udo tearfully said:
"I
was away for work. When I came back, I understood there was a problem. I
saw my daughter among the victims so I had to rush her to the hospital
and she was certified dead. Her death is a big loss."
Recalling Blessing's love for football, he said: "She
was a football lover. She even played football and I did not know she
used to go there and watch football. This incident was the first time I
knew she came here to watch football. She was a student at Holy
Secondary School. She was in SS3 and was going to write her WAEC last
month.
