SIX ALMAJIRIS KILLED AS IED MISTAKEN FOR SCRAP METAL EXPLODES
Read Time:36 Second
An improvised explosive device (IED) exploded in the Borno State local government area, killing six Quranic school students—known as Almajirai in Hausa—in a terrible accident.
Yesterday’s event happened when a metal scavenger inadvertently gathered and stashed a variety of metallic objects in a building near a Tsangaya school.
Regretfully, the scavenger had no idea that among the metal that had been gathered was an undetonated IED that had been abandoned. At around 2:00 pm, the IED exploded, killing the children and seriously injuring others.
A journalist, who spoke with a security source, confirmed the devastating blast and gave images of the graphic sight, but all attempts to obtain confirmation from security services regarding the incident remained fruitless.
