A footballer, Churchill Owaci, has died after he was allegedly assaulted by teammates for a defensive error that led to a goal during a friendly match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The death of the player was confirmed by the authorities in Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Dennis Onyon, a sub-county chairperson who confirmed the incident, Owaci\u2019s teammates attacked him with blows after the blunder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the situation was said to have gone from bad to worse after Owaci confronted one of his assaulters moments after the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This led to a fresh fight that saw him sustain serious injuries and later collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was rushed to the hospital for medical attention where he was pronounced dead by medical personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe deceased collapsed a few metres away from the fight scene and was rushed to Agoro Health Centre III, where he was pronounced dead a few hours later,\u201d Onyon was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two brothers identified as Joel Okello aged 19 and Francis Opio have since been apprehended in connection to Owaci\u2019s death, at Lamwo central police station pending further probe into the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
