There were fears that the death toll might rise, as many of the injured persons who sustained severe burns and deep cuts were said to be in critical condition.

The Commissioner of Police, Ikioye Orutugu, while announcing the ban, said the command would deploy robust security measures to ensure that residents and visitors enjoyed a peaceful celebration.
