DAILY POST reports the stampede occurred at about 10 am at the Shafa Holdings Company Plc headquarters along Jos Road, on Sunday which led to the death of four women. It was gathered that the crowd, largely women, had gathered for the distribution of the Zakaat items, distributed by a Bauchi-based philanthropist. The distribution was said to have begun smoothly, with beneficiaries called in groups to receive items, until restlessness among others led to a struggle to enter the premises.
Giving an update on the incident, the spokesman of the Command, SP Ahmed Wakili, in a phone interview with our reporter on Monday, disclosed that two more women died at the Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital , adding that the third woman died at home.
