The furore that erupted soon after the match between Nigeria and Ghana has claimed the life of Confederation of African Football (CAF) official, Joseph Kabungo.
Joseph Kabungo is a medical doctor from Zambia and yesterday he was on duty as a doping officer of the duel between Nigeria and Ghana.
According to The Cable, Kabungo was brutally assaulted as Nigerians went berserk after witnessing their hope of playing in this year’s World Cup crumbling.
One source under the condition of anonymity said that Kabungo was caught in the midst of the stampede as he tried to leave the stadium and was beaten and left unconscious.

Dr Kabungo was beaten and stepped upon by the crowd and was unconscious.
An ambulance had to be called so as to rush him to the hospital after they tried to resuscitate him without success.
We never knew that he will not make it. Until we were told he died.
The second leg encounter between Nigeria and Ghana ended 1-1, with the Black Stars booking their FIFA 2022 World Cup ticket through an away goal rule.
The match was played in Abuja last night.
