Breaking: Stampede Over Abuja Palliative Leads To Death of 10 Persons, Others Injured

A stampede at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Maitama, Abuja, on Saturday morning has reportedly led to the death of at least 10 people, including children, are feared dead, and several others sustaining various degress of injuries.

The stampede occurred as thousands of residents scrambled to receive palliatives distributed by the church.

Didactic Information Hut reports that the event organised by the Church to provide relief to struggling residents, drew over 3,000 people, mostly from Mpape, Gishiri Village, and other nearby settlements.

The National Director of Social Communications at the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, Padre Mike Nsikak Umoh, who confirmed the tragic development noted that the palliative distribution has been suspended.

“Yes it’s true but with sketchy details,” he said.

An eyewitness who revealed that at least seven of the deceased were children added that the scene was chaotic and tragic.

Didactic Information Hut gathered that many attendees arrived as early as 4:00 AM, hoping to secure their share of the palliatives. Unfortunately, the stampede occurred between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM when the crowd surged forward.

“10 people have been reported dead, including children. We just received a call that they have passed on.

“Over 3,000 people came out to receive the palliative. It’s unfortunate. Some of them arrived as early as 4:00 AM. Most of those present were residents of Mpape, Gishiri Village, and other nearby settlements.

“The stampede occurred between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM. The distribution of palliatives has been suspended indefinitely, and people are dispersing. May God receive the souls of the departed and protect us from harm,” the eyewitness, a mother of five, said.

Meanwhile, a combined team of police, military, and DSS officers has been deployed to restore order and disperse the crowd.

This is coming after over 35 children died in a palliative event in Ibadan.

Na wa ooo
Why will people still go ahead and organize these events even with the stampede trend here and there. Why not devise a more strategic means?

Tinubu well done, it has never been this bad. Let's keep looking for the tribe that is most affected, instead of voicing out in unison. They keep telling us we will suffer so things will be better. Are things getting better? No
No light
No good road
Nothing Nothing
Just suffering suffering and suffering

What has tinubu got to do with this

2014 over 15 people died trying to seek for job.. y'all should just blame it on poor organization and individual greed...

Ifeel for the dead but most times these things are avoidable na we human dey do human

Stampede everywhere.

There is hunger in the Land.

May God Grant them ETERNAL REST 🙏 ❤

Painful fact is that Most the destitutes that led to this very tragic incident are poverty driven almajiris living in uncompleted buildings that littered maitama and other districts of Abuja city.

We have never seen this before in our country Nigeria..This is as a result of a failed state.

Afonjjas are the most dangerous sets of human beings on this planet earth, just pure evil 24/7. Listen Igbos and Northerners, there are no stampede in Anambra and Abuja, as being reported this morning by Afonjas. They are reporting it out of shame of Ibadan stampede and narrative they were hungry people. In typical Afonjja style of gaslighting, to draw other regions into it, they created fake stampede news in SE and the North, using pictures from Guniea and other African countries.

They are weaponizing poverty in order to get sufficient blood donations to their wicked dark Kingdom's. The beautiful truth is that some of them shall reap the fruits of their wicked labour alive while the rest shall reserve it for their unborn generation. While their cursed e-warriors shall remain slaves for life.

APC THE MERCHANTS OF DEATH

Hian? Another stampede?

Seems these bloggers are plain mischievous.

Year of stampede God help us

How about 2014 NIS stampede whereby 16 job seekers died in Abuja?, who caused that?


-Kiss the truth!

All this avoidable senseless death 😕.

Yes the failure of all failures Tpain is a curse on the Country for he has wrecked the Country with profound hoplessness and suffering but is sending your kids to pick up scrap worth it??

-Kiss the truth!

You have a point.
But does this water down the point of the people you quoted??
T-pain brought a level of suffering that is unimaginable, unheard-of and incalculable to this Country.
Imagine buying ordinary ogbono for upto 2k plus per cup.

T-pain is the real weapon of mass destruction fashioned against Nigeria.

To the families and loved ones who are grieving, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

May you find strength and comfort in the memories of those you have lost and in the love and support of those around you. We stand with you, united in compassion and solidarity.

No sentiment.
The country failed Nigerians very long time ago.
Is just that the country is getting worst.
The country have never been this bad
That is the truth.

Tinubu should just open the boarder for food to come in, the incessant stampedes in the country shows the level of hunger in the land.

Forget about economic theories and policies, you need to save lives first.

Rather than take on the government that is killing them.with bad policies, the people prefer to go and die struggling for rice elsewhere.

My sister just told me the news as she returned from church.

Stampede everywhere for struggle of rice.

Nigerians which way

As you refuse to fight Government because of fear of death. Now you still die struggling to get rice.

Till Nigerians wake up and say NO to these rubbish. Politicians will keep playing with the masses.

We never ready

Okija 36
Ibadan35
Abuja 10
Tinubu why
Tinubu has weaponised hunger

Na lie joor.
Ibadan, Anambra and now Abuja... Abeg na lie joor.

Another one

Hmmm!

I believe Tinubu's south west supporters are very happy with what is happening now.


Useless hypocrite who would have been killing people if Jonathan was the president.

The worst part is, it is the very hungry that goes to these charity so it is easier for them to drop dead.

I don't know when people will realise that THERE IS LITTLE OR NO GOVERNANCE AND ADHERENCE TO LAID DOWN LAWS (WHERE SAID LAWS EXISTS) AT THE CENTRE AND MOST OF THE COMPONENT PARTS OF NIGERIA! It's not today we started experiencing death by stampede owing to absence of proper organisation, crowd control and policing of events involving giveaways, and sadly it will continue for as long as our elections and leadership recruitment process is flawed!

Why must they' gather time to a tight spot,can't it all be dropp3d at front of they houses,or una do transfer. Time to renew with blood has come.
Primate ayodele no see this one oh.
More deaths are loading,church sef go soon do dia own,....
