Recounting how the accident happened, Doma United chairman, Alhaji Umar Suleiman explained that the slippery nature of the road caused the accident.
“I can’t say exactly if the driver was speeding or not but what I gathered from my team is that it was raining and while negotiating a sharp bend, the driver lost control and the vehicle skidded off the road along the Makurdi-Lafia road. I thank God that
there was no fatality but several players and officials sustained injuries and are being treated in hospital”.
Doma United lost its match day 35 game 3-1 to Heartland football club in Owerri on Sunday.
