BREAKING: MANY FEARED DEAD IN ABUJA STAMPEDE
Read Time:45 Second
At least 10 people are reported dead, with many others injured, following a stampede at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Maitama, Abuja, on Saturday morning.
This incident comes just days after a similar tragedy in Ibadan, Oyo State, where a stampede at a children’s funfair claimed the lives of at least 35 children and left six others critically injured.
The stampede in Abuja occurred as residents rushed to collect palliatives being distributed by the church.
The event, aimed at providing assistance to struggling residents, attracted people primarily from Mpape, Gishiri Village, and other nearby communities.
At the time of this report, the spokesperson for the FCT Emergency Management Department, Nkechi Isa, could not be reached for additional information.
Eyewitness accounts indicate the stampede happened between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Saturday, as the crowd surged forward to access the relief items.
