injured in a stampede at the end of a church vigil in
eastern Nigeria.
Reports reaching us from Anambra, eastern Nigeria
that up to 28 people had been killed in stampede at St
Dominic's Catholic Church early on Saturday morning.
There was no immediate known cause for the
stampede which happened in the grounds of the church
as followers celebrated an overnight vigil to mark All
Saints' Day.
200 victims that survived the stampede were taken
hospitals in Onitsha and Nkpor where a lot of them
were treated and discharged, report.
The event had been attended hours earlier by Anambra
state governor, Peter Obi. He later returned to the
scene and visited the injured in hospital, promising to set
up an inquiry to establish the cause of the accident.
