Fidelity Advert

An event meant to bring joy to members of a church in Port Harcourt has turned into morning as over 20 persons are feared dead following a stamped at the venue.

The event; ‘Shop for free’ was organised by Kings Assemblies at Port Harcourt Polo Club.

The ugly incident occurred when the organizers of the program failed to adequately control the crowd who tried to have their ways into the venue, thereby causing serious stampede which resulted in loss of lives.

When asked why the smaller gate was opened instead of the bigger gate, one of the organizers said they were yet to receive instructions from above, hence, their reasons for not opening the gate of the venue for the audience.

It was also discovered that, some of the victims had come from Aba a day before the incident.

As at the time of this report, some of the organizers of the program have been arrested including the Church Legal Adviser.

A mobile police man was also disarmed by the Olu-obasanjo Police Station as it was discovered that, the officer was on “illegal” duty.

More details will come your way as the event unfolds.
