Photos: Nine Dead in Ghana Eid Party Stampede

Nine people have died in Ghana's second city,
Kumasi, following a stampede at a party to
mark the end of Ramadan.
According to local media reports, the injured
were taken to a nearby hospital and one
person is in a critical condition, Joy FM
reports.
There are conflicting reports of the cause of
Wednesday night's stampede. One eyewitness
is quoted as saying that a power cut caused
panic and the crush occurred as people
rushed to leave the venue.
Another said that the lights went out at the
end of the party but people were unable to
get out because the doors to the community
centre were locked.
Muslims celebrated Eid al-Fitr on Wednesday,
marking the end of the month-long Ramadan
fast.
