A Nigerian Manchester United fan has killed four Barcelona fans and injured 10 others as he drove a minibus into a crowd of Barcelona fans as they celebrated Barcelona's victory in the Champions League Final against Manchester United.

Nigerian police reported that the incident occurred in Ogbo town, south-eastern Nigeria. The perpetrator has been arrested and is currently in police custody. Rita Inoma Abbey who is a police spokeswoman had this to say about the incident:

"The man confessed to doing it on purpose,"

"He now says he doesn't know why he did it, but it was an intentional act."

My condolences go out to the families of the victims of this senseless crime.
