The Aflao township was thrown into a carnival of football fans deep into the night on Saturday as they heralded the CAN 2008 tournament as well as welcome hundreds of football supporters from Cameroun, Benin and Nigeria who arrived in Aflao in dozens of coaches.
Clad in their national colours, the fans organized in various groups, some of them on floats sang and danced along the streets while vehicles tooted horns, holding up traffic on the highway for hours.
The visiting supporters, who enjoyed the mood created a good market for cooked food sellers and drinking bars operators. There were no incidents.
There is a 24-hour security presence at the Aflao border and other busy locations to ward off criminals from exploiting the situation.
