Oyo state, Ibadan – No fewer than 30 children have reportedly died from a stampede at a children’s funfair in Ibadan.
According to reports, on Wednesday, December 18, the unfortunate event occurred at the Islamic High School in the Bashorun area, which was intended to provide 5000 naira to 5000 children.
However, things took a devastating turn when the number of children exceeded the expected 5,000, leading to a struggle for entry.
TVC News learned that the event was organised by a former queen of the Ooni of Ife in collaboration with a popular radio station in Ibadan.
Meanwhile, the Oyo State Government has mourned the loss of lives, stating that they were unaware of the event until the tragic news spread.
Deputy Governor Adebayo Lawal visited on of the hospitals where some injured children were taken and requested that the organizers turn themselves in for further questioning.
Unfortunately, the doctor confirmed that four children were brought in dead, while others are still receiving treatment.
