The mother of one was set to feed about 5000 children from ages 0 to 13 years across Oyo state.

However, a stampede occurred when the kids rushed to get gifts from the organisers, leading to the death of some.

Speaking about the stampede, Ayintete said charity events should be well organised to avoid such incidents because the country’s level of hunger was high.

He blamed the situation on the poverty that has ravished the nation.

Ayintete said in a Facebook post:

“In this season, at this time, with the level of hunger in town, oh, charity has to be well planned. If possible, it can be virtual. It’s so sad!! Ha!! See what poverty has done in Nigeria.

“Sometimes, you read the news and a layer of your humanity is just eroded because you have to continue your life as though nothing happened. In a bid to get food, kids were crushed to death!! Life is such a delicate place!!”
