Man Attacks Another Fan For Making Fun Of Super Eagles.

Football fans at the Ilasan area of Lagos State scampered for safety after a man armed with machete attacked another for making fun of the Super Eagles, after the Monday draw between Nigeria and Iran in a Brazil 2014 World Cup Group F match.

The incident was said to have occurred at a viewing centre.

Many people in the area where the incident happened believed that the man wielding the machete wanted to cut off the head of his victim, but only succeeded in inflicting injury on him.

One of the men, identified as Sunday Usman, suspected to be drunk, armed with a machete, had started to chase other fans for allegedly making fun of the Super Eagles who failed to fly in the opening match of their Mundial campaign.

Usman, who hails from Edo State, was said to have been watching the match with others in a bar when a man, Koffi whom he believed wanted Iran to win praised Iran players for dribbling and foiling all attempts by the Nigerian team to score.

Eye witnesses claimed that Usman, who had steadily being drinking alcohol as the match progresses, had loudly warned Koffi, a Ghanaian to stop praising Iran players to his hearing and to stop abusing Super Eagles. But Koffi turned a deaf ear to the warnings.
