Following the reported deaths of some football fans while watching the semi-final match between Nigeria and South Africa at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the Nigerian Cardiac Society (NCS) has raised concern over cardiovascular health of Nigerians.
While the society in an official statement Friday could not confirm the exact cause of the deaths, it highlighted the risk factors prevalent among Nigerians that could trigger sudden death.
The society issued the warning ahead of the final match between Nigeria and the host nation, Cote d’Ivoire, which is scheduled for Sunday.
