Breaking News: 30 people losses their life Today at UKE Adoration house.
About 30 persons died in the early hours of today [November 2, 2013] at a prayer house in Uke in Idenmili known as "Ebube muonso".
Governor Peter Obi and his candidate, Willie Obiano ,arrived the prayer house [Adoration Ministry] about 4:15am to address the audience that had come for night vigil.
The arrival caught the audience unaware and surprising. As Peter Obi mounted the stage to address the audience – the audience broke out in a quiet murmur – unsure of what to make of it, the Governor continued to deliver his campaign speech with Willie Obiano standing beside him. Governor Peter Obi promised to make available N5million to the prayer house to help tackle a gully erosion site near the Adoration grounds.
As he spoke, the murmuring grew louder – followed by chants of ‘Onwa, Onwa’. According to sources, in reaction to the chants of Onwa, Willie Obiano/Peter Obi’s men, including security operatives, began rushing towards the area where the chants of Onwa was coming from. The chanters were moving away from the approaching armed men. In the process, it turned into a stampede.
At the end of the stampede, over 28 corpses were seen littered on the grounds. An estimate of over 200 were injured. A large percent of the dead and injured are believed to be Ngige supporters, going by their chant. According to one of the survivors of the stampede “they rejected Obiano and were chanting Ngige. It took hours to calm the crowd by Father Ebube Muonso so that Peter Obi could speak. Peter Obi made donation of N2million to the Reverend Father. The Father rejected it and ask him to give that to the poor. And later there was a stampede"

Peter Obi,Willie Obiano and the APGA team left the Adoration ground around 3 or 4 am in the morning while the incident happened at the end of the adoration service. After the final blessings and as people will slowly marching to the exit, a mole;supposedly someone positioned at the exit to raise the alarm,started shouting fire fire fire fire from the outside of the arena. Given the large numbers of people slowly moving out of the ground,they hurriedly began rushing back into the adoration ground to avoid the fire;a fire which many of them didn't even see.
This caused many of them to be wounded and I was lucky nothing happened to people close to me. Some fainted while others lost consciousness. When the stampede subsided,the bodies were gathered and were prayed for. Many of them rose up after the prayers and sprinkling of the holy water while the remaining were taken to Crown Hospital while one was taken to St. Charles Borromeo hospital Onitsha. Many of the unconscious are regaining stability as at now and we thank God that some professed dead are returning to life;this has brought some amount of joy in front of Crown hospital. This is an individual report and has nothing to do with any political party. This is the state of things and how it occurred at Uke. Bodies numbering between 10 and 30 were carried away from the ground but official statistics and reports is yet to be released from the Adoration ground or from the hospital.

Your indulgence in Feigning Religion in order to deceive the people and secure personal political power has just consumed some Anambra Citizens in vain.
Next, would probably be you!
