Hours after their Federation Cup final loss, Abakaliki FC’s bus crashed on the team’s way back to Ebonyi State.
The team had lost to Kwara United in the final of the Federation Cup played on Saturday in Lagos and were on their way back to Ebonyi when the accident happened.
In a statement on their official Facebook page, the Ebonyi-based club said there were no injuries or lives lost in the accident.
To God be the glory, no injury and no life was lost. On our way back from Lagos after yesterday’s President’s Federation Cup finals to Ebonyi State today (29/6/2025), one of our vehicles (official’s bus) failed brake along Ondo express highway and hit a moving truck at the back,” the club wrote. We thank God, we are all safe and sound. To God be the glory!
Photos on the club’s social media handle indicated some minor damage to the bus.
The accident came about one month after 21 athletes from Kano State died while returning from the National Sports Festival in Ogun State.
