Senator Aminu Tambuwal has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic loss of lives in stampedes that occurred in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, and Okija, Anambra State. Describing the incidents as devastating, Tambuwal extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families.
The tragedies come on the heels of a similar heartbreaking incident in Ibadan, Oyo State, where nearly 30 children lost their lives in a stampede at a funfair. These successive events have plunged the nation into profound grief.
In his statement, Senator Tambuwal called on organizers of large-scale events to prioritize safety and implement effective crowd management measures to prevent future occurrences of such tragedies.
“On behalf of my family, I offer our sincerest condolences to all those mourning the loss of their loved ones. Our hearts and prayers are with the grieving families, and we pray for the souls of the departed to rest in peace,” he said.
The senator also extended his solidarity to the people of Anambra State and the Federal Capital Territory, pledging his support and prayers during this difficult time.
