- 'Rest in peace' -
Nigeria has seen a number of fatal stampedes in recent months.
In March, two trainees passed away and 23 were harmed after being crushed as thousands collected free of charge bags of rice handed out by local authorities at Nasarawa State University, in main Nigeria.
Later that month, another stampede killed 4 females who had actually been waiting outside the workplace of a rich businessman in the northern city of Bauchi to gather 5,000 naira ($3.40) cash presents to help pay for food during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Witnesses said members of the crowd pressed to get hold of the cash, triggering a stampede, as Nigeria grappled with its worst recession in a generation.
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde had shared his condolences for the Ibadan victims on X on Wednesday.

"Our hearts remain with the families and liked ones impacted by this catastrophe. May the souls of the departed rest in peace," Makinde said.
"We sympathise with the moms and dads whose joy has actually all of a sudden been turned to mourning due to these deaths," he included.
