CAF Official Dies After Fans Invaded Abuja Stadium

An official of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has reportedly passed on following the invasion of the Nigeria’s National Stadium by hoodlums.

Reports said he has been confirmed dead, but Blueprint is yet to authentic the latest information as Nigeria’s sports officials haven’t made any comment.
