Three children have reportedly died and others injured after a stampede at a Christmas funfair by Queen Naomi Silekunola, former wife of the Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi in Ibadan, Oyo State on Wednesday.

The programme organised by her foundation Women in Need of Guidance and Support (WINGS) came to an abrupt end over the sad incident.

There were conflicting reports about the number of casualties but the BBC reported that a policeman confirmed that at least three children were dead.

The affected children were rushed to the University of Ibadan College Hospital (UCH) where some of them were confirmed dead.
