Police say the crowd became 'uncontrollable' at a charity event where food was handed out to the poor.

Nigerian police say they have launched an investigation after 31 people died in a crush in the southern city of Port Harcourt.

"They were telling people 'Go back, go back, go back,'" Chisom Nwachukwu said. "Some people that were pushing from backwards were marching on those people." It started the annual charity in 2014 but said this year's "turnout, build up and the attendant circumstances were absolutely unanticipated", and that attendees started gathering before security teams for the event were on site.
