Four people have lost their lives in a stampede during an almsgiving zakat exercise for the poor in Bauchi State.
The stampede occurred at the Shafa Holdings Company plc headquarters along Jos Road, on Sunday at about 10 am.
Another individual, 17-year-old Naima Abdullahi, is currently receiving medical treatment at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital in Bauchi.
On visiting the scene, the crowd had been dispersed, and police vehicles were stationed in the area. However, a few women are still waiting outside in anticipation of further disbursement.
At this time, no official statement has been released by the company.
