Ugwuanyi who was at the Nnamdi Azikwe Stadium, Sunday, to motivate the Flying Antelopes when they broke a 32 years trophy drought by beating hard fighting El Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri, 4-0 to clinch the 7th league title, was emotionally traumatized when at the 90th minute of the game, Egwim broke his ankle following a deliberate hard tackle from Elkanemi goalkeeper which earned him a Red Card. Egwim, was rushed to ParkLane Hospital in one of the stadium ambulances.
