Stadium Stampede: 2 corpses identified, buried

Forba Rose, one of three women who died in a stampede at the Bépanda Omnisport Stadium during a two-day gospel crusade by Nigerian preacher, Suleman Johnson, has been identified and buried.

Close family members identified her corpse about three weeks after the crusade event. The body was recently transferred from the Deido Hospital Mortuary to Baba II in the Santa Sub-Division (North West) where it has been laid to rest.

As a reminder, the over 50 years old woman died having been trampled upon in the stampede at the crusade ground following a robbery attack on attendees.

32-year-old Geraldine, who also died on-the-spot, was conveyed to the Laquintinie Hospital Mortuary while the third victim was rushed to the Mbingo Baptist Hospital Annex in Douala. She died a few hours later. Her corpse was then transferred to the Laquintinie Hospital Mortuary.

The robbers were said to have attacked participants in the night breaking October 21, just after preaching was over and the preacher and his collaborators had left the crusade ground.
