The Bauchi State Police Command has confirmed that three more women have died following a stampede at the venue of an almsgiving Zakat, bringing the number of deaths recorded to seven.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that the crowd, largely women, had gathered for the distribution of the Zakaat items, distributed by a Bauchi-based philanthropist.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 (ATBUTH), adding that the third woman died at home.<\/p>\n

He gave the names of the casualties as Aisha Usman, aged 13; Sahura Abubakar, aged 55; Aisha Ibrahim Abubakar, aged 43; Kobi Street Bauchi; and Khadija Isah, aged 8; Karofi Bauchi.<\/p>\n

The rest are Maryam Suleiman, aged 20, of Kandahar Bauchi; Maryam Shuibu, aged 16, of Gwang Gwan Gwan Bauchi; and Hassana Saidu, aged 53, of Dutsen Tanshi Bauchi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the number of victims confirmed dead by medical doctors. More details will be made available to the public as the command receives them,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
