n
the early hours of Saturday, November 02, 2013, there was a stampede
moments after prayers at the Holy Ghost Adoration Centre, Uke, in
Idemili South LGA of Anambra State.
The stampede, which occurred while people were going home, resulted in the loss of some lives.
Some are still injured and receiving treatments in some hospitals.
Vigil was usually held at the centre on every first Friday of the
month. The crowd at the centre was unprecedented on this first Friday of
November 2013 probably because it was the Solemnity of All Saints and a
holy day of obligation for Catholic faithful.
