Ghost Adoration Ministry, Uke, in Idemili North local government area
of Anambra State, lost their lives during a stampede at the end of the
ceremony in the early hours of Saturday.
The crusade, organized by Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obinma for prayers,
healing and spiritual retreat, attracts thousands of people, but the
one that was held Saturday, on the Feast of All Saints turned tragic.
As estimated 100,000 worshippers attended the crusade because, apart
from coinciding with the Feast of All Saints, it was also the first
Saturday of the month.

Apart from the dead 25, whose bodies were said to have been deposited
at Immaculate Heart Hospital and Maternity, Nkpor and Charles Borromew
Hospital, Onitsha, several others, who sustained various degrees of
injuries, are receiving treatment in various hospitals in Onitsha.
This is dismal. To think that the people who actually came for the retreat came to pray for the departed and lost their own lives. God pls rest their souls
