The Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Most Revd Ignatius Kaigama, has stated that the tragic stampede during the Church‘s annual Christmas items distribution, which resulted in the deaths of 10 individuals and left 11 others injured, was not a result of negligence.

Kaigama emphasised that no Nigerian should have to suffer or lose their life while struggling for food, explaining that the event at Holy Trinity Church in 2024 saw an unexpected turnout of approximately 5,000 needy and vulnerable people, driven by the escalating economic hardships facing many families across the country.

He made the call during a special mass held in remembrance of the victims of the December 21 stampede at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Abuja, themed “Be Consoled, Be Consoled, O My People Says Your God.“

The archbishop lamented the unfortunate loss of life and injuries that occurred amid the Church‘s noble effort to provide food and necessities to the impoverished and hungry, a mission it has successfully executed for decades.

He also called upon President Bola Tinubu to fulfil his promises in his New Year‘s address, urging him to intensify initiatives to boost food production and work towards lowering inflation from its current rate of 34.6 per cent to 15 per cent.

Kaigama pointed out that poverty strips individuals of their dignity, highlighting the importance of individual actions and political decisions to benefit the poor.

“Their hunger compelled them to come, and it is not the fault of the Catholic Church. The large crowd outside the church generated pressure and panic, leading to a chaotic scramble for entry through the church gates, which ultimately resulted in the tragic fatalities and injuries,” he explained.

He also noted that the Catholic Church is the largest non-governmental provider of healthcare services globally, boasting over 100,000 charity and healthcare centres, including hospitals, dispensaries, care facilities for those with leprosy, homes for the elderly, and resources for individuals with disabilities.
