The match between Enugu Rangers and Abia Warriors at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu on Friday 8th July 2016, could have ended in a blood shed but the tragedy was averted as the policeman in question took to
his heels.
The trouble started when a group of young Igbo men were moving round the stadium with Ogene music when one of them was seen openly displaying a Biafran Flag. This action provoked a nearby police officer who moved towards the young man holding the Flag and attempted to snatch the flag away.
Apparently, he got more than he bargained for as the young men descended on him with serious beating and nearly lynched him. However, sources said the policeman escaped from the mob with the help of his fellow officers who intervened on time.
However, the NPFL match ended 2-1 in favour of the home team Rangers Fc who now top the League table with 43 points.
