It is very sad that eight people are feared dead in a stampede for free Christmas food items. They lost the items and their lives. So sad.
The stampede occurred at about 7:30am on Tuesday, December 15, around Rumudara Town, Obio/Akpor LGA, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria.
According to Vanguard, the incident happened at an office allegedly owned by Pinkcoin, an online blockchain digital assets designed for giving charity.
Pinkcoin was said to have invited everyone who registered with them in Obio/Akpor LGA to come and redeem their Christmas palliatives, on Tuesday.
A huge crowd turned up and could not be controlled as they struggled to get access into the premises of the firm.
Also, one Nkem Iffi shared the story online. In his own case, he said 6 people were killed in the stampede.
Unfortunately, some people were trampled upon during the rush to collect the palliatives.
