The
incident occurred at about 7 p.m. while residents were about to break their
Ramadan fast.
According to a local vigilante said that a yet to be identified driver in a
starlet delivered a polythene bag to some children who were playing.
“The man just stopped his starlet as if he is looking for help.
He gave one of the boys playing a polythene bag that he should take it to his
father as it contained money and valuables.
“The boys didn’t know and in the process of taking it to home,
we just heard the blast.
“Two
kids lost their lives instantly, while the remaining two and one passerby were
seriously injured and rushed to nearby hospital unconscious”, the vigilante,
Baba Yerima, was quoted by Premium Times.
The Police spokesperson, Othman Abubakar, also confirmed the
incident.
“It was one unknown starlet driver that approached some children
at Fadaman Rake holding a polythene bag and there he delivered it to one of the
kids with a pretense that it was money and other valuables meant for their
father” he said
