Nigerian football team Sunshine Stars FC were the victims of a terrifying attack as they traveled across the country ahead of their Premier League away match this weekend.
Sunshine Stars’ ball boy was hit by a bullet and has since been taken to hospital, while multiple club officials – including players and the team manager, Seun Betiku, were “seriously injured.”
The club, which is based in the city of Akure in Southwest Ondo State, was en route to Benin City in South-South Edo State on Thursday for a match with Bendel Insurance FC when gunmen attacked them. Photos shared by the team on their various social media pages show the coach’s windows and door shattered by gunshots.
