A fourty year old man, Moshood Ismail collapsed and died at a viewing center while watching the match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Elephants of Cote-de-vour.
Ismail, a father of two and an enginer with the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency caused a commotion inside the viewing center when he suddenley collapsed during the early munites of the game.
An eye witness who pleaded annonymity reported that Ismail became agitated and later collapsed when an Ivorian defender deflected a goal-bound shot from Nigeria's Victor Moses.
Ismail's neighbour, Taiwo Adebayo who was also at the viewing center at time of the incident reported that Ismail started foaming from the mouth after slumping to the ground and was rushed to the Success Medical clinic but unfortunately, no doctor was on duty to attend to him. He was refered to another hospital but died on the way before he could reach there.
But the medical director of Success Clinc, Dr Sulaiman Kolawole said that Ismail was brought to his clinic dead and all effort made by him to revive the patient proved abortive.
Imail's widow, Tawakalitu Temilola said her husband's sudden death was still like a dream to her. She said Ismail who survived a fatal accident two months ago left behind two children and his octogenarian parents.
