President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday condoled with President Yoon Suk-yeo, the government and people of South Korea over Saturday’s stampede at Itaewon district of Seoul in which many young persons were killed.

At least 151 people were killed and 82 others were injured in the deadly stampede in the district as they celebrated Halloween.

The South Korean stampede, a mass of mostly young people celebrating Halloween festivities became trapped and crushed as the crowd surged into a narrow alley.

Two of the dead victims were foreigners.

In his condolence message to his South Korean counterpart, President Buhari sent prayerful wishes for the speedy recovery of the injured.

He also wished speedy healing and comfort to the entire nation as it grieved the heart-breaking loss of its loved ones.
