About 30 people lost their lives at Football viewing centre in Calabar, the Cross River State Capital when a high tension cable fell on the hall they were watching the Europa League Quarter final second leg clash between Manchester United and Anderlecht.
The tragedy occurred when a transformer near the viewing centre located in the Iyang-Esu area of the Calabar Municipal Local Government Area exploded during the match and this caused a high-tension cable to drop on the viewing centre.
Reactions have trailed the sad incident that also left several injured, see some of them below;
