Reacting to the tragic incident that resulted in loss of  “multiple lives” and injuries to children,  Governor Makinde stated in a statement issued….

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. 

We have taken steps to ensure no further deaths are recorded at this venue by deploying security agents to restore order at the venue. We also deployed medical personnel and ambulances to the venue.

 The event has been stopped, and attendees have been escorted out of the venue. We are taking all realistic measures to ensure that the venue is secured. 

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

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. Amen.
