A Manchester United fan in Nigeria killed four people when he drove his minibus into a crowd of Barcelona supporters after his team lost the Champions League final, police said on Thursday.
The crowd in the town of Ogbo were celebrating Barcelona’s victory after Wednesday night’s match when the bus drove into them. A police spokeswoman said 10 people were injured and the driver was arrested.
“The driver had passed the crowd then made a U-turn and ran into them,” she said.
Barcelona beat Manchester United 2-0 in what was hailed as a “dream final” between two of Europe’s best clubs. Both teams have large fan bases in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation.

The man u fan issue is really sad... Don't know why naijas have to go this far using alabukun for another man's headache. Beats me o!
What a shame! Sad... sad... sad...
The Idolatry level in football right now is amazing.
My view may sound extremist, but from a Christian p.o.v one has to be very careful with the so called fan followership.
I enjoy football, I even have a team, Barca, but when people don't eat, fight, feel depressed all day, do all sorts and now kill because of a team that doesn't know you exist, that's new age idolatry.
Same goes for the drinking to stupor and all sorts that's occur when one's so called team wins.
Anything that takes more attention than you give your Creator is an idol.
We all have to be careful.
(Cont'd)...
...Also idolatry makes you fight for your god, instead of allowing your God to fight for you.
What do you fight for?
Linda is doing a great work with this site. Kudos to her
LOL....im so sorry, i really had to laugh at the babe fainting, its just funny, never really heard of that happening, but paul is hot, so no complaints.
heard about the man U fan.....something gotta give for such an action.
uhm, is it just me or is our beloved Donald duke looking more tired that unusual. he usually shines in his pics and i am not seeing it in this one.
hahaha p square and a fainting fan? hahah, wonders shall never end. this na micheal jackson all over.....i wonder how fans differentiate between the two
@anonymous.....hahahaha, good one
How come the two footballers were both aiming for each other's balls? thats strange , or is it part of comic relief Linda?............lol
Donald Duke is looking really tired, because it shows that this man is working hard, compared to those big belle so called leaders, that when i see them it always look like they are competing for the most flamboyant dresser. I have huge respect for Donald Duke, and i wish him the best with his upcoming projects.
The last time I remember someone fainting was at one of Michael Jackson's concert, i guess the chick loves her some P-Square.
funny how all the post i read no one commented on African China weddin....hmmmm..
anyways,the cult followership english clubs have in nigeria and africa is becomin somethin else...when Arsenal lost in the semi-finals a Kenyan Fan hanged himself and that same night Nicklas Bendtner an arsenal player was found pants down partyin in a club....whats all the wahala for anyways...its just a game people...
Please, I refuse to believe that that girl fainted because of psquare. ah ah. Haba. lol! Is it really that deep?
But fatigue, heat, overcrowding, dehydration, poor ventilation etc are all things that can cause a person to faint- And a concert hall can have many of those conditions.
I'm just hoping she fainted because of the conditions of the venue oh and not just because of being star struck... abeg.
@ anon 8:25pm I totally agree with the girl fainting due to all the things you mentioned, hopefully they had paramedics close by, if they don't, na anoda wahala be that o. Bcos even if na Michael Jackson i go control myself. But who knows what i will do, if P-square starts singing, "No One be Like You", na anoda story be that sha.
Linda, If you know how u dey help me, wen i don tire or bored for work, i just go on your blog. God go butter your bread.
Na real wa!
The things these soccer and music fans do.
Some girl jumped over a bridge cause her team lost. Now, a driver kills four people. This is real dedication mehn.Lol!
Ini looks hot in this pic. Big ups to her.
Love your blog btw.
The two anonymous that said that they don't believe is becos of psquare they fainted u guys should stop all these negative thought becos i no that if psquare where in front of u, u guys will do something worst than that of the girl that fianted in their concert.
from fan of psquare.
Haha! Anon 2.15pm,Nigerians do appreciate their artist. Well, I do alot, but trust me, I dont think any Nigerian would faint.
ofcourse she DIDN't faint primarily bcos of p-square!! duh! i think she would rather be awake and about enjoying the show than laying on the grass from exhaustion.
