SaharaReporters on Wednesday broke the news about how tragedy struck at the Islamic High School in Bashorun, Ibadan when a stampede occurred during a children's Christmas party.

Queen Naomi Silekunola Ogunwusi, the former wife of the Ooni of Ife, was a key organiser of the tragic children's festive party.

Additionally, Agidigbo 88.7 FM, owned by Oriyomi Hamzat, had actively promoted the event in the days leading up to the devastating incident.

The Oyo State government had confirmed that no fewer than 35 children lost their lives during the tragedy while the police, in a statement by SP Osifeso Adewale, said that 35 children had been confirmed dead so far with six others critically injured.

The police had also confirmed the arrest of Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, the estranged wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and seven others behind ill-fated event.

Sources said Mr Hamzat is yet to recover since Wednesday morning after what happened at the children’s party.

“He(Mr Hamzat) was truly at the event. But when the stampede started and children were collapsing, he could not withstand that ugly scene. So he also fell and he is currently at the hospital,” a source privy to the incident told SaharaReporters.

They are not to blame. Blame those that have caused so much hardship in the land like Tinubu and Buhari

Typical Nigerians.....you see people spend hours fighting for who should get fuel first at the filling station during scarcity instead of queuing and being orderly,you would be out in mins but no,nah fight......many will then end up not getting anything.

tellwisdom:
Not his fault.. Buhari caused it. A very useless cursed human being.

Wealthoptulent:
Nigerians are always tuning everything into NIGHTMERE, common CIVILIZATION discipline would have saved and diverted this TRAGEDY, but when one has the NOTION of "I, first" now no one eventually did have anything but LOSS

Doing good don turn bad


Sad that tragedy happended but to blame the organizers instead of people who are not civilized to stay on lane while driving in traffic, stay on queue at the ATM, come to meeting at agreed time, always feeling the need to fight for anything that would eventually reach them.

Nigerians need good policing.

For traffic, break traffic put 100k fine. No one would ever. When police catch you twice and you pay 20k you go respect yourself.
