A resident of Ugbo Odogwu, a suburb of Enugu, Peter Agbowa, slumped and died while watching the 2010 FIFA World Cup match between Nigeria and Argentina on Saturday.

Agbowa, 56, a father of three, was said to have slumped from a chair when Argentina scored the lone goal of the encounter six minutes into the match.

His wife, Georgina, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Enugu that she noticed that her husband stood still after he shouted and was no more moving.

According to her, “I tried to touch him, but he just fell on the floor and I shouted to alert neighbours who quickly came and rushed him to the hospital where he was confirmed dead.”

Agbowa, who hailed from Ukana in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, was a self-employed carpenter..
