The Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Kayode Egbetokun, on Saturday, frowned against the unorganized distribution of palliatives and relief items in the country during the festive period.

Egbetokun issued the warning while reacting to the recent stampedes in Oyo, Anambra and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi.

Recall that a tragic incident had occurred in Ibadan on Wednesday, where a stampede at a children’s fun fair resulted in the death of at least 35 children and left many others critically injured.

Also, not less than 20 residents of the Okija community in Anambra State lost their Lives in a stampede on Saturday during an event organized to distribute rice to the less privileged.

Urban Express News Online also reported that an Unspecified number of People died a stampede that occurred during the distribution of rice and other food items at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, in the Maitama area of Abuja, on Saturday.

The IGP emphasized the dangers posed to public safety during the unorganized distribution of palliatives and funfairs set up by groups, individuals and NGOs.

He noted that such unorganized events could result in stampedes and other incidents that could endanger lives.

The IGP ordered the commissioners of police in the affected states to carry out thorough investigations into the incidents for further legal action.

He equally sympathized with the bereaved families and wished those injured quick recovery.
