Arsenal Fan and Police Inspector Dies After 3–0 Win Over Real Madrid
An Arsenal superfan and police inspector named Stephen Enang sadly passed away not long after watching his favourite team pull off an impressive 3–0 win against Real Madrid on Tuesday, 8th April 2025.
Stephen, who was from Ekori in Yakurr Local Government Area of Cross River State and worked at the Akim Police Division in Calabar, had gone to a viewing centre on Abang-Asang Street, fully caught up in the match excitement.
People who were with him said he was cheerful all through. He looked fine, full of energy, and celebrated each of Arsenal’s goals with big smiles — even jumping up with joy. But once the final whistle blew, things suddenly changed. As the crowd began to leave, they realised Stephen was still sitting there, not responding.
Friends quickly took him to the Police Hospital in Akim. Doctors tried their best, but sadly, he was pronounced dead not long after they arrived.
His sudden death has left everyone — friends, family, and colleagues — in deep shock. As of now, the Akwa Ibom State Police Command hasn’t yet shared any official statement about what happened.
