Nigeria has seen several deadly stampedes in recent months.

In March, 2 trainees passed away and 23 were hurt after being squashed as thousands collected for free bags of rice distributed by regional authorities at Nasarawa State University, in central Nigeria.
+
Later that month, another stampede eliminated four females who had actually been waiting outside the workplace of a rich businessman in the [northern city](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/naija-news/investigative-news/peoples-gazette-news/) of Bauchi to gather 5,000 naira ($3.40) cash gifts to help spend for food throughout the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Witnesses said members of the crowd pushed to acquire the cash, causing a stampede, as Nigeria grappled with its worst financial crisis in a generation.
+
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde had actually shared his condolences for the Ibadan victims on X on Wednesday.
