30 football fans electrocuted at a football viewing center in Calabar.


Over 30 people are feared dead at a football viewing centre in Calabar, after being electrocuted by a high tension cable that reportedly fell on them.


According to report, the football fans are said to have assembled at the centre to watch a UEFA Europa League quarter-final match between Manchester United and Anderlecht on satellite  television.



A witness, who said he was the first to run out of the viewing centre, told Channels Television that the victims died as a result of a contact between the live cable and the roof of the viewing centre.
Electricity authorities said it is illegal to erect any building around areas with high tension cables.
