A falling broadcast mast at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium killed a middle-aged man on Thursday.
The mast fell on the man during a stiff breeze before a downpour, disrupting a worship night to celebrate Governor Monday Okpebholo’s 100th day in office.
The decorator’s driver was killed by the mast while trying to save his boss’s decorations.
A police official who requested anonymity informed journalists that a strong wind caused the mast to fall on the victim.
“We were all gathered at the stadium waiting for the commencement of the praise night when the breeze began.
“Unfortunately, the mast fell and killed the man instantly. His head was shattered, and it was a gory sight.
“I gathered that he was a driver to the person who was at the stadium to decorate the venue.
“Most people had to leave the stadium after the rain subsided,” the police said.
