The stampede occured at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Maitama District of Abuja on Saturday morning

It occurred during a palliative distribution event organised by the church to support poor residents of the Nigerian capital.

One of the events the president pulled out of was the 2024 Lagos Boat Regatta organised by the Lagos government.

The Nigerian leader is in Lagos, his home state, to celebrate the Christmas and New Year holidays.

President was scheduled to watch the boat parade and other activities of the Boat Regatta from the waterfront of his Oyinkan Abayomi Drive residence in Ikoyi, his spokesperson Bayo Onanuga wrote in a statement on Saturday.

Dignitaries, including top officials of the Lagos State government and white cap chiefs from the state, were already seated when the president cancelled his appearance following briefings on the tragedies.

Commiserating with the victims of the unfortunate incidents in Anambra and the Federal Capital Territory, President Tinubu urged states and relevant authorities to enforce strict crowd control measures immediately,” Mr Onanuga wrote.He said the president noted the disturbing resemblance between the mishaps at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Maitama, Abuja, and a community Centre in Okija, Anambra State, and the tragic incident in Ibadan, Oyo State, earlier this week.

The Ibadan stampede at a children’s funfair that led to the death of 35 minors.

Mr Onanuga quoted the president is saying local and state authorities should no longer tolerate operational lapses by organisations and corporate bodies involved in charitable and humanitarian activities.

While praying for the peaceful repose of the souls of the innocent Nigerians who died in the stampedes, President Tinubu wished a quick recovery to the injured. He reiterated that these mishaps are avoidable if event planners adhere to necessary safeguards and protocols to ensure pre- and post-event safety, says the spokesperson.
