The rally wey happen on Sunday no just hot; e be like fire wey no wan quench. Dem report say 10 people don die and plenty others don sustain serious injuries after crowd don push themselves like say dem dey enter football match and no wan pay gate fee.
Eyewitnesses talk say the stampede happen as crowd dey rush to catch glimpse of Vijay as e dey wave and smile to hin fans. Na so all the wahala begin. People dey fall down, dey trample each other, and dem no even sabi say dem dey on top serious mata! E be like say dem no gree follow safety rules self.
Authorities for Chennai don react sharply. Dem don talk say na some of the organizers and dem security personnel suppose carry blame o. The Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, MK Stalin, don even scatter ground with hin reaction, dey talk say na poor planning and careless management cause this kind tragedy. E be like say no one wan carry blame, but e clear say dem fit do better! (Na wah, e go better if una fit plan better rally next time, abeg na wetin we dey ask for!).
