Explaining what happened, Councilor Representing Kidandan Ward, Hon. Abdullahi Ismail said the children picked the object in the bush where they went to fetch firewood and they were bringing it home when it exploded.

"I was told the children picked the object in the bush when they went looking for firewood. It exploded and injured them badly,” he said.

No day ends in Nigeria without news of deaths. This is quite unfortunate.

The tragic incident in Kidandan Village, resulting in the fatal injury of at least 10 children due to a suspected explosive device, is deeply distressing. The lack of swift and clear communication from the authorities adds to the dissatisfaction surrounding this unfortunate event, leaving the community in distress and seeking answers.
