Tragedy in Calabar: Police Inspector Dies Watching Arsenal vs Real Madrid Match

 

A night meant for excitement turned tragic on Tuesday, April 8, as Inspector Stephen Enang of the Nigerian Police Force collapsed and died while watching the Champions League match between Arsenal and Real Madrid in Calabar.

Inspector Enang, a well-known and passionate Arsenal supporter, was enjoying the game at a popular football viewing center located on Abang-Asang Street in Calabar Municipality when the incident occurred. He had shown no prior signs of illness, according to friends and witnesses at the scene.

“He was in great spirits,” said a close friend who spoke anonymously. “He cheered for all the goals, celebrating loudly each time Arsenal found the net. But as the match ended and people began leaving, we noticed Stephen hadn’t moved. That’s when we realized something was terribly wrong.”

Panic set in as fellow fans rushed to revive him. He was quickly taken to the police hospital at Akim, where doctors tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate him. He was later confirmed dead.

Inspector Enang was attached to the Akim Police Division along IBB Way, Calabar. Described by colleagues as a soft-spoken and peaceful officer, his sudden passing has left many shocked.

Attempts to reach the Cross River State Police spokesperson, SP Irene Ugbo, for official comments were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.

This unfortunate incident has sparked conversations about stress, undetected health conditions, and the emotional investment fans place in football.
