Montserrado County District #16 Representative Dickson Seboe says the number of victims who died following a stampede at a crusade last month in New Kru Town has hit 31.
Health authorities initially confirmed 29 deaths, but Mr. Seboe told state broadcaster Tuesday, 1 February 2022 that the death toll has risen to 31 so far.
According to representative Seboe, the new deaths included three children.
He narrated that one of them called Patrick from Copper Street in New Kru Town died at his home several days after the incident, and another child who people walked on so badly, died in the same New Kru Town.
Meanwhile, Representative Seboe reported that 49 victims who were at Redemption Hospital and Cora Clinic have all been discharged.
‘’We had about 49 persons that were injured and they have been undergoing medical treatment at the Redemption Hospital and Cora Clinic in New Kru Town, but they all are discharged,” he said.
“We also understand that the police [are] coming up with their investigative report, but we hope they do that urgently because we need [it], said Rep. Seboe.
He noted that losing 31 people is not something easy and he wants to make sure all those in connection to this are punished.
He thanked all those that stand with the district during the mourning period, adding that they will make sure that justice is served.
