Legendary Argentine footballer Diego Maradona has been rushed to hospital after collapsing following Argentina's dramatic 2-1 victory over the Super Eagles.
According to the Sun Newspaper, a Fleet Street publication, the renowned soccer maestro found difficulties standing up all by himself from his seat and had to be assisted.
Bodyguards and friends picked him up and took him to a car that rushed him to hospital.
Maradona was in high spirits in the lead up to the crucial fixture for Argentina.
The incident has sparked fears about the health of Maradona who has long battled drug addiction.
Here is what Garissa residents have had to say about the development:
''He flashed a middle finger at Nigerians. Allah has punished him,'' Abdi Bole said.
''I hope he recovers from that,'' Sudi Abad said.
''I have no sympathy for him. He is a racist. Did you see what he did after Argentina scored?'' Habiba Mohamed said.
''The man should repent his sins. His attitude is disgusting,'' Balawe Abdihakim opined.
