Nigeria vs Zambia: Security advisor urges fans to stay off the pitch

By Daily Sports on October 7, 2017


Senior Security Advisor to the Super Eagles, CP Garba Umar, has urged football fans to be orderly as they throng Uyo to watch the team’s World Cup qualifier against Zambia on Saturday.

Umar made the appeal when he spoke with newsmen on Friday in Awka on the crucial 2018 World Cup qualifier against the Chipolopolo of Zambia at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo.

He said that the team had been talking to fans on the need to be ruled as well as the consequences of field encroachment. The Police Commissioner in Anambra said that enough mobilisation of personnel had been done ahead of the game in the light of the high expectations and excitement that would surround the game.

“We have been working towards a hitch-free game, talking to fans against pitch invasion or encroachment because FIFA is very strict about such behaviours. “Our men have been mobilised and are on ground, we understand the nature and tempo of the game, it is a crucial one.

“And we hope that with the preparations on ground, it will be a very free security atmosphere,’’ he said.

Contributing, Arthur Ebunam, the Chairman of ex-Rangers International players in Anambra, said that though pressure would be on the Eagles, they would come out triumphant.

Ebunam, a former Green Eagles player, said they should approach the game with positive minds and attack their opponents and score as many goals as possible. (Vanguard)
