ナイジェリア南西部のイバダンで18日、クリスマスに合わせた祭りで子どもたちに現金や食料を配布すると告知したところ、5000人以上の人が集まりました
On the 18th in Ibadan in southwestern Nigeria, we announced that we would be distributing cash and food to children at a festival in time for Christmas, and more than 5,000 people gathered.
Furthermore, when the organizers arrived, children rushed in and the venue became chaotic.
At least 35 children died and 6 others were injured in this accident.
The organizers of the festival announced that in addition to handing out 5,000 naira (approximately 500 yen) in cash to each child, they would also distribute food to participants.
Local police arrested eight people, including the organizer, and the investigation is ongoing.
In Nigeria, there have been a number of crowd accidents at food distribution events since the beginning of this year, highlighting the seriousness of poverty.
