Irate Abia Warriors fans went berserk and descended on Katsina United video camera man Bishir Musa during matchday 17 of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clash on Sunday in Umuahia.
Katsina United came from a goal down to pick a point in Umuahia through a penalty by Agboola Joshua on 39 minutes to cancel out a 16th minute strike by Obi Samson.
The outcome did not go down well with the home fans, who invaded the pitch immediately the final whistle was blown to attack the centre referee and his assistants.
An official of Katsina United told SportingLife.ng that the fans beat up Musa who had earlier been warned not to video the game especially towards the end.
“They prevented him from filming the match towards the end and also removed both the memory card and the battery of the camera. He was badly beaten and he suffered a broken head in the process. We had to rush him to the Federal Medical Center Umuahia where he is receiving proper treatment,” an official said to SportingLife.ng.
Katsina United are making arrangements to petition the League Management Company (LMC) over the attack
