Oyo State Government has commenced investigation into a stampede that occurred at a carnival in Ibadan, the state capital.

Many children were said to have died in the process with Governor Seyi Makinde commiserating with the parents who have lost their children.

The governor in a personal message on X on Wednesday said his administration has arrested the organisers of the programme and will ensure that those responsible are prosecuted.

“While investigations are ongoing, the primary organisers of the event that led to this stampede have been taken into custody,” Makinde said.

“I want to reassure our people that anyone directly or remotely involved in this disaster will be held accountable. Please remain calm as the security agencies investigate this unfortunate incident.

“Our hearts remain with the families and loved ones impacted by this tragedy. May the souls of the departed rest in peace.”

Although the exact number of people is yet to be ascertained, viral videos showed some children affected by the incident that occurred in the Bashorun area of Ibadan on Wednesday.

He described the incident as a sad day for the Oyo State Government and the people of the South-Western state.

The governor said his administration has taken steps to ensure no further deaths are recorded by deploying security agents to restore order at the venue.

“Earlier today, an incident occurred in Islamic High School Basorun, the venue of an event organised for families. Sadly, a stampede at the venue has led to multiple loss of lives and injuries.

“This is a very sad day for us here in Oyo State. We sympathise with the parents whose joy has suddenly been turned to mourning due to these deaths,” Makinde said.

He also emphasised that medical personnel and ambulances have been deployed, adding that the state government is also taking all realistic measures to ensure that the venue is secured.
