A stampede Saturday at a church charity event in southern Nigeria left 31 people dead and seven injured, police told The Associated Press, a shocking development at a program that aimed to offer hope to the needy. One witness said the dead included a pregnant woman and many children.
The stampede at the event organized by the Kings Assembly Pentecostal church in Rivers state involved people who came to the church’s annual “Shop for Free” charity program, according to Grace Iringe-Koko, a police spokeswoman.
The Islamic State (IS) group released a video claiming to show the murders of some 20 Christians in northeast Nigeria’s Borno State. According to multiple news outlets, the video was posted to an IS-linked news outlet.
It showed armed and masked jihadists standing behind three lines of kneeling captives in civilian clothes. Barnabas Fund also reports two of the three jihadists shown on camera are dressed in black, and one man has what appears to be a large green scarf around his neck.
