According to reports, Over 30 persons died
early hours today at Holy Ghost Adoration
Ground which is located at Uke town in
Anambra State. Which is one of the biggest
Catholic prayer groups in Anambra
State. Gov Peter Obi, Willie Obiano and the
APGA team had entered the ground
to campaign but when the audience
opposed them, It caused a stampede that
eventually got a lot of worshippers injured.
At the end of the stampede, over 28 corpses
were seen littered on the grounds. An
estimate of over 200 were injured. A large
percent of the dead and injured are
believed to be Ngige supporters.

According to an eyewitness, Martin
Nworah
The Holy Ghost Adoration Ground which is
located at Uke town in Anambra State is
one of the biggest Catholic prayer groups in
Anambra State officiated and managed by
Fr. Obimma(Ebube Muonso). The stampede
that has caused several false claims from
many quarters is quite alarming and it is
as a result of this that I'm giving a detailed
account of events that transpired.
Peter Obi,Willie Obiano and t he APGA team
left the Adoration ground around 3 or 4
am in the morning while the incident
happened at the end of the adoration
service. After the final blessings and as
people will slowly marching to the exit, a
mole;supposedly someone positioned at the
exit to raise the alarm,started shouting fire
fire fire fire from the outside of the arena.
Given the large numbers of people slowly
moving out of the ground,they hurriedly
began rushing back into the adoration
ground to avoid the fire;a fire which many
of them didn't even see.
This caused many of them to be wounded
and I was lucky nothing happened to
people close to me. Some fainted while
others lost consciousness. When the
stampede subsided,the bodies were gathered
and were prayed for. Many of them rose up
after the prayers and sprinkling of the holy
water while the remaining were taken to
Crown Hospital while one was taken to St.
Charles Borromeo hospital Onitsha.
Many of the unconscious are regaining
stability as at now and we thank God that
some professed dead are returning to
life;this has brought some amount of joy in
front of Crown hospital. This is an
individual report and has nothing to do
with any political party. This is the state of
things and how it occurred at Uke. Bodies
numbering between 10 and 30 were carried
away from the ground but official statistics
and reports is yet to be released from the
Adoration ground or from the hospital.
