On 28 May 2022, 31 people were killed and seven others injured in a stampede in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, at a church event where free food was to be given out.

The 28 May 2022 event, due to an expectation of larger than normal crowds, was held at Port Harcourt Polo Club instead.

Local police state that people waiting in line grew frustrated at how long it was taking and tried to rush to the front, triggering the crush at around 6 am.

[3][7][8] A police spokesman told reporters that at least a further seven people were injured, some of whom received treatment at the local military hospital.
