“Real football fans don’t behave like this” – Nana Aba lambastes riotous Nigerian supporters

WORRIED Ghanaian Media personality, Nana Aba Anamoah, says genuine football fans would not have acted the way the Nigerian supporters did at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja yesterday.

It would be recalled after the 1-1 draw between the Super Eagles and the Black Stars, which secured Ghana’s participation in the upcoming World Cup, the Nigerian fans trooped on to the pitch and reportedly vandalized parts of the stadium.

This was after a goalless draw in Kumasi last Friday.

In a tweet, Nana Aba described the Nigerian supporters as “hoodlums” as she compared the actions of Ghanaians at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium and that of the Nigerians in Abuja.

“You packed your stadium with hoodlums. Real football fans (those you saw in Kumasi) will never behave like this. Classless bunch,” she said.

Meanwhile, some Nigerians on Twitter have described the act as a “show of shame” while condemning the vandalization.

The riotous actions of the fans led to the death of a Zambian medical official, Joseph Kabungo, who works with the Confederation of Africa Football (CAF).
