Reports of the tragedy quickly spread on social media. Several users on X (formerly Twitter) shared accounts of the incident and its aftermath.

One user stated, “A lot of people have lost their children’s lives because of free gifts… UCH is full of dead body.”

Another user urged people in Ibadan not to take their children to events organized by the radio station, citing the arrival of multiple children at UCH, some of whom were reportedly deceased.

Social media posts expressed worries about the organization of the event, indicating that more thorough preparation could have averted the tragic incident..

One user commented, “I think the organization could be better. There is poverty in the land… But I thought the organizers… should know better.”

Another described the event as a “heartbreaking disaster,” noting that what was intended to “spread joy and relief turned into a heartbreaking disaster as families rushed to collect food.”

Unofficial sources from the University College Hospital (UCH) suggest that some children were brought to the hospital deceased.

However, the hospital administration has not yet released an official statement regarding this matter.
