A football celebration turned awry on Tuesday evening in Calabar as Police Inspector Stephen Enang reportedly slumped and died shortly after watching Arsenal defeat Real Madrid 3-0 at a local viewing centre.
The late officer, a native of Ekori in Yakurr LGA of Cross River State and attached to the Akim Police Division, was described as a devoted Arsenal fan.
Eyewitnesses said he was visibly ecstatic during the match, jumping in celebration after each goal. However, after the final whistle, friends noticed he remained seated and unresponsive. 
Enang was rushed to the Police Hospital in Akim, but efforts to revive him failed, and he was pronounced dead.
Known for his calm demeanor and love for football, his sudden passing shocked those who knew him. As of press time, the state police command had yet to release an official statement.
