Dr Joseph Kabungo, Confederation of African Football’s Doping Officer for the game between Nigeria and Ghana, has died after the violence that occurred when the match ended in 1-1 draw in Abuja.
British-Nigerian journalist Osasu Obayiuwana confirmed the sad news stating that Dr Joseph Kabungo, a Zambian medical practitioner who was on duty as a doping officer, suddenly collapsed and died.
Obayiuwana initially tweeted: “Sad news: I understand that an official for the @NGSuperEagles v @GhanaBlackstars match (not a referee or assistant referee) died in #Abuja today.”
