Kenya's Prime Minister Raila Odinga, and world football's governing body FIFA, have ordered an immediate investigation into Saturday night's stampede at a league match in Nairobi, in which at least eight people died.

The stampede occurred during Saturday's Kenyan Premier League match between traditional rivals Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards at Nyayo National stadium when hundreds of fans surged towards one of the gates.

Six people died at the scene and two more died in hospital later.
