In Nigeria, a dispute during a cash distribution event organized by a wealthy individual resulted in the tragic deaths of seven people, including an eight-year-old child, as reported by the BBC. The wealthy individual, Alhaji Yakubu, had promised 5,000 Naira to each resident of a northeastern state, leading to a large crowd gathering at his office. The incident has prompted investigations by the authorities, and despite the chaos, Alhaji Yakubu has not been reported as missing. This event adds to Nigeria’s history of similar tragic incidents during public cash distribution events.
