@dailymail: At least 35 children have died and another six were severely injured after a stampede at a Christmas funfair in the southwestern city of Ibadan in Nigeria. Police said they have arrested eight people, including the organiser of the carnival Naomi Silekunola. The incident happened on Wednesday at a fair organised at an Islamic High School where over 5,000 children had gathered. The organisers announced that the children “will win exciting prizes like scholarships and other bountiful gifts”. The crowd crush happened as the main organiser arrived at the event and the children tried to gain entry to receive the cash prize and food. #nigeria #christmas #children #rip #christmasmarket
