The video, which was obtained by MandyNews.com, shows some of the victims of the stampede on the floor as doctors and nurses at the Military Hospital, Port Harcourt, are trying their best to attend to them and save as many people as possible.

The church, which is located on Port Harcourt’s GRA axis, is claimed to have invited the entire public to the Polo Club, where the anniversary celebration would be held, to receive food and other gifts.

According to reports, the location grew congested as individuals arrived to receive gifts before the event began, resulting in a stampede in which dozens of people were said to have died.

According to multiple sources, the mob began pouring into the venue about 6:30 a.m. on Saturday and, in order to gain entry, pushed through a tiny gate at the venue, causing many individuals to fall down and be stampeded to death.
