Power outage has hit parts of Côte d’Ivoire, the host country of the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.
A popular Nigerian sports journalist, Suleiman Adebayo, disclosed this during an interview with Channels Television on Tuesday.
He spoke on the sidelines of Nigeria’s lone-goal victory against Guinea-Bissau on Monday.
According to him, the power outage has lasted over five hours across significant cities in Côte d’Ivoire.
“There is a power outage here for about five hours, perhaps due to the 4-0 loss by the Ivorians to Equatorial Guinea”, he said.
The development comes after the Ivorians suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Equatorial Guinea on Monday.
Equatorial Guinea finished top in group A, while Nigeria finished runners-up with seven points.
