An interesting and rather sad story says that six children were playing behind their father’s farm in Minna, Niger when they found a bomb without knowing what it was.
The innocent children proceeded to playing with the armed bomb when it exploded killing one of them while the rest four were amputated.
Sadly, news reaching the media says that the dead child has already been buried as is their tradition-islams.
Meanwhile, the rest four children who were seriously injured and amputated have been admitted and are being treated at IBB specialist hospital in Minna.

This very sad and unfortunate incident happened in Shiroro LGA on Thursday.
Someone who spoke to the media said the children involved in the ugly incident were his sister’s children(Ahmed Almustapha).
Also, he mentioned that this is about the second time a bomb explosion is happening in the area.
Ahmed Almustapha who is also a resident of the area, speaking to the media said that the other children lost their legs.
