KUALA LUMPUR: Comments and criticism are flying in fast and furious on the incident where a Kelantan footballer had allegedly assaulted a customer at a hypermarket in Shah Alam on Monday.
The incident involved Kelantan’s Nigerian defender Obinna Nwaneri, who had punched a customer at the hypermarket following a verbal disagreement where the latter had accused Nwaneri of jumping queue. (see video below)
Faizaly claimed that following a verbal disagreement, the player then delivered a blow to his chest and left him reeling. He claimed that only a timely intervention from Nwaneri’s teammate prevented the incident from escalating further.
News of the incident was also reported in English daily The Star and broadcast on Hitz.FM.
Nwaneri played a starring role in Kelantan’s Malaysia Cup match against the Armed Forces in Selayang yesterday, scoring the equalising goal in the 87th minute.
