Nigeria has actually seen numerous lethal stampedes in recent months.

In March, two [trainees died](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/business/businesspost/) and 23 were harmed after being squashed as thousands gathered free of charge bags of rice distributed by regional authorities at Nasarawa State University, in central Nigeria.
