Immigration Recruitment : 3 Pregnant Women Die, 20 Others Injured In Benin

Edo Applicants

I really don't know whose idea it was to create such a massive destruction in the name of job recruitment. How can a government service accept such massive space?. This is really sad to think that people died while trying to seek for survival.
Just when we are trying to get a grip from the news of the stampede in Abuja three pregnant women were pronounced dead and about twenty people injured  from same Immigration recruitment in Benin.


Three pregnant women participating in the Benin zone of the immigration recruitment exercises slumped and died immediately inside the main bowl of Samuel Ogbemudia stadium on Saturday. The applicants had turned up for the exercise as early as 6am , but the screening couldn’t start till 2:15pm when some of the applicants started leaving after the stampede .

Trouble started around 10am, when the immigration officials in charge of the screening lost control of the crowd prompting the soldiers on guard to start shooting sporadically in into the air. Over twenty eight thousands applicants that took part in the one day exercise started running for safety that resulted in stampede .
