In a tragic series of events in Nigeria, 32 people lost their lives due to crowd crush incidents during charity food distributions. The fatalities occurred in Okija and Abuja as large crowds gathered for Christmas donations. Additionally, earlier in the week, 35 children died while receiving food and gifts at a school event. President Bola Tinubu has since called for stricter crowd control measures and suspended official events to honor the victims amidst the country’s severe economic crisis characterized by soaring food prices.
