Posted by Onome Naomi
There might be trouble looming for the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, as Confederation of Africa Football’s doping doctor, Dr. Joseph Kabungo, was reported dead after fans angrily invaded the Abuja stadium yesterday.
Recall that the Super Eagles of Nigeria failed to qualify for the world cup after the Black starts of Ghana held them to a 1-1 draw at the MKO Abiola stadium, Abuja.

This made some of the fans angry as they invaded the pitch after the final whistle, destroying things in the stadium.
There are unconfirmed reports that Kabungo died as a result of the stampede that occurred at the stadium Abuja before the commencement of the match while another blamed it on the invasion of the stadium by irate fans.
The death of Kabungo was Kabungo was British-Nigerian journalist, Osasu Obayiuwana, which he made known in a tweet.
He wrote, “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.”
The NFF is yet to react on the issue.
