A devastating incident has occurred at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Maitama, Abuja, on Saturday morning, resulting in numerous fatalities.

At least 10 lives were reportedly lost, with many more injured in the chaotic scene, as per PUNCH

This tragic event bears a striking resemblance to a recent incident in Ibadan, Oyo State, where a stampede at a children’s funfair claimed the lives of at least 35 children.
