The tragedies are allegedly attributed to widespread hunger and the harsh economic realities following federal government policies.
In December 2024 alone, 65 people have died at palliative distribution venues due to stampedes as desperate individuals struggle to obtain a cup of rice to feed their families.
On 18 December 2024, 35 children tragically lost their lives during a stampede at a Christmas funfair in Ibadan that spiralled out of control.
Again, on 21 December 2024, another stampede occurred in Abuja at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Maitama, resulting in at least 10 deaths, including four children.
On the same day, a similar tragedy unfolded in Anambra, where 20 people lost their lives during a food distribution exercise.
