Anambra Government Reacts To Food Distribution Stampede In Okija

The Anambra State Government has expressed profound sorrow over the tragic loss of lives in the stampede that occurred during a rice distribution event in Okija town, Ihiala Local Government Area, on Saturday.

“It is strongly advised that future distributions of relief materials be conducted in a more organised and decentralised manner, with adequate crowd control measures in place.

“This may include establishing multiple distribution points within the community to reduce overcrowding at a single location; implementing a system to prioritise vulnerable groups such as the elderly, pregnant women, children and people with disabilities; employing trained personnel to manage crowds, ensure orderly queues, and provide assistance to those in need; and conducting public awareness campaigns to educate the public on safety protocols during such events,” the statement added.
