March 30, 2022 CAF Doping Officer Slumped, Died in MKO Abiola Stadium Stampede
Further Sad News has trailed the unfortunate loss of the Super Eagles of Nigeria to the Black stars of Ghana. Joseph Kabungo, a doctor working for the Confederation of African Football (CAF), was reported to have slumped and died at the MKO Abiola stadium in Abuja. Kabungo was the doping officer for the Super Eagles’ match against Ghana in the second leg of the 2022 World Cup playoffs. He was said to have slumped in a stampede before the Match started and died shortly after the match on Tuesday. Ace journalist, Osasu Obayiuwana, 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.” No officials statement has been released by CAF or Nigeria Football Federation confirming the doctor’s death.
