<br>A stampede at a school funfair in the city of Ibadan has actually killed 35 children and seriously hurt 6 others, authorities said on Thursday.<br>
<br>The hurt children were receiving medical attention following the occurrence, which happened on Wednesday in Nigeria's third-largest city, Oyo State Police Command stated.<br>
<br>"8 individuals have since been detained for their various participations", authorities spokesperson Adewale Osifeso said in a [statement](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/nigerian-newspapers/p-m-news/).<br>

<br>- 'Rest in peace' -<br>
<br>Nigeria has seen numerous fatal stampedes in current months.<br>
<br>In March, 2 students died and 23 were hurt after being crushed as [thousands gathered](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/naija-news/tv-stations/nta-news/) free of charge bags of rice handed out by regional authorities at Nasarawa State University, in central Nigeria.<br>
<br>Later that month, another stampede killed 4 ladies who had been waiting outside the office of a rich business owner in the northern city of Bauchi to gather 5,000 naira ($3.40) cash gifts to help pay for food throughout the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.<br>
<br>Witnesses said members of the crowd pressed to get hold of the cash, causing a stampede, as Nigeria grappled with its worst economic crisis in a generation.<br>
<br>Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde had actually shared his condolences for the Ibadan victims on X on Wednesday.<br>
<br>"Our hearts remain with the households and enjoyed ones impacted by this disaster. May the souls of the departed rest in peace," Makinde said.<br>
