Two elderly women lost their lives and several others were injured as worshippers gathered for the Christ the King procession on Sunday, Nov 24, at Christ the King Catholic (CKC) Church in Aba, Abia State.
The annual procession, celebrated in the Roman Catholic and Lutheran Churches, marks the kingship of Jesus Christ.
The event, organized by the Catholic Diocese of Aba, attracted a massive crowd.
The mammoth crowd spilled into the church’s gate area, creating a congested environment.
