There are others under medical attention at the Emergency Unit, so we can’t force a clear figure beyond what the situation is at the moment.”

Most of the affected victims fell and were trampled over as teeming party supporters made to force their way through a locked exit gate on the trail of President Mohammadu Buhari as he left the stadium.
