A tragic stampede in the Okija community of Anambra State has resulted in the deaths of at least 20 people.
The incident occurred during a rice distribution event on Saturday, with multiple social media videos showing lifeless bodies on the ground.
Charles Aburime, the Chief Press Secretary to the Anambra governor, confirmed the incident, stating that the state government is closely monitoring the situation and will issue a formal statement soon.
This incident follows a similar tragedy in Ibadan, Oyo State, where over 35 people, mostly children, lost their lives in a carnival stampede just days earlier.
