An eyewitness, who spoke on the condition
of anonymity, said the stampede occurred
around 4.30am.
His words: “It was the church’s annual
deliverance and healing programme. Usually at
this time, the church becomes a beehive of

see the prophet for miracles.
“People lodge in different hotels surrounding
the church. And they all arrive at the church
very early.
“There is a canopy on the premises where
worshippers are screened before they see the
man of God.
“However, on Saturday, after being screened,
the crowd was much and they started
struggling through the doorway to see the
prophet. In the process, three people collapsed.
They were rushed to the Isolo General
Hospital, where they were confirmed dead.”
Another source quoted in the report stated
that two of the victims were identified
through their phones, while the third victim
did not have any means of identification
“Their families were immediately contacted
and they identified them. The police from the
Ikotun division were also contacted,” the

Badmos, however, confirmed the incident,
adding that investigations were ongoing.
“The story is true. Investigation is ongoing as
we await the result of the autopsy. For now,
we are treating the case as sudden and
unnatural deaths,” she said.
