Nigerian Football Federation reports 'bus attack' from Ethiopian fans to FIFA
Sunday's match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and Ethiopia was
not without some drama, members of the NFF have reportedly stated that
the bus conveying the Super Eagles was attacked by some disgruntled Ethiopian fans
shortly after their 2-1 victory. According
to the NFF, Real Betis midfielder, Nosa Igiebor was injured when
the bus windows were shattered as the team left the stadium after their 2-1 win.
NFF Vice President Mike Umeh said
the incident has been reported to the FIFA security team at the match venue and
he hopes action will be taken.
Igiebor, who was a second-half sub
in Sunday’s showdown, was the unlucky one as the stone slashed his right palm
leading to profuse bleeding that was immediately attended to by Super Eagles doctor,
Ibrahim Gyaran.
On the other end, the Ethiopian
Football Association has said it will investigate Nigeria's claim that fans
attacked their team bus after the countries' World Cup play-off in Addis Ababa
on Sunday.
