Tragedy at Holy Trinity Catholic Church: At least ten people lost their lives, and several others were injured during a stampede at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Maitama, Abuja, on Saturday.

The Abuja police force confirmed four children were among the deceased. Spokesperson SP Josephine Adeh revealed that eight people sustained injuries, with four discharged after hospital treatment. The event’s aim to assist those in need led to a massive turnout, ultimately resulting in chaos around 7 a.m. Saturday.
Authorities have initiated an investigation into the tragic incident, ensuring accurate assessment and response. This unfortunate event underscores the need for stringent crowd management at charitable assemblies. How can communities better plan and conduct aid distribution to prevent incidents like this in the future?
