Tragedy struck in Bauchi State as a stampede during a Zakat distribution claimed the lives of four individuals. The incident occurred at the office of AYM Shafa’s Shafa Holdings along Jos Road in Bauchi metropolis.

On Sunday, crowds of the needy gathered in anticipation of receiving Zakat, an Islamic obligation of charity. The stampede ensued as people jostled to collect their share, resulting in four fatalities and several injuries.
