Stampede at an Islamic High School in Ibadan has on Wednesday left many dead including children and women while leaving several others injured.
The incident reportedly occurred at an end of the year programme said to have been organized by Agidigbo FM, run by popular broadcast, Mr. Oriyomi Hamzat with supports from a former queen of Ooni of Ife.
As seen in a now viral video online, one of the children was carried from the scene as the agitated crowd called for medical aid.
According to a post by an X user, the radio station had organized a Christmas funfair for only 500 children with the ex-wife of Ooni of Ife invited.
However, over 5,000 children reportedly turned up at the funfair resulting in the stampede.
