In Abuja, Nigeria, a stampede at a Christmas food distribution event has led to the deaths of ten people, including four children. The incident occurred at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church during a charity event intended to support those in need amid a worsening economic crisis. This disaster, the second stampede in a week, has raised concerns about safety protocols at such gatherings. With high inflation and a struggling economy under President Bola Tinubu, public frustration has surged, leading to mass protests. The police now require prior permission for organizing charity events following these tragedies.
