LMC Honours Late Akwa United Supporter

The League Management
Company has honoured one of the Akwa United supporters who died in a auto crash on Saturday afternoon en-route to Port Harcourt for the NPFL Match Day 33 tie with Enyimba.
There was a minute silent before the start of Enyimba versus Akwa United tie for the repose of the departed Akwa United Supporters Club member who died instantly in a road crash while others sustained in the vehicle suffered various degree of injuries when their vehicle veered off the road and tumbled into the bush.
Akwa United did produce some exceptional display during the said match and even managed to level proceedings through Hassan Babangida in the 44th minute after Enyimba had opened scores in the ninth minute through Mfon Udoh from the penalty spot off an infringement on Stephen Chukwude in the vital area of the Promise Keepers.
A late expertly dispatched free kick from Ikenegbu Ibenegbu stabbed the hearts of the Uyo side and handed all points to Enyimba.
The Media Officer of Akwa United Uwem Ekoh had earlier told newsmen that the Promise Keepers were in mourning mood going into the tie because of the news of the road mishap while adding that the break-in into their vehicle parked outside their hotel base in Port Harcourt in the early hours of Saturday made it an unforgettable weekend for them.
has been a very tough day for us. We woke up to see that our team bus was burgled by armed robbers who capitalized on the lack of space in the hotel compound to steal some valuable items in our bus. What they stole ran into thousands of naira but we thank God we have been able to get it fixed. The loss of one of our supporters was the last straw,” Ekoh said.
