Four teenagers have been killed in an explosion involving an improvised explosive device in Banki, Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Nahum Daso, confirmed the incident in a statement released on Friday, saying the device went off behind the Banki Motor Park in Wajari Ward.

According to the police, the victims were reportedly playing with the device, which they allegedly picked from the bush, when it detonated.

The statement read, “The Borno State Police Command wishes to inform the general public of a tragic Improvised Explosive Device (IED) explosion that occurred today, 5/12/2025, at about 12:40 hours behind Banki Motor Park, Wajari Ward, Banki, Bama Local Government Area of Borno State

“At about 1300hrs, one Babagana Mohammed ‘M’ of Wajari Ward reported to the Police. Upon receipt of the report, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Banki and team, in conjunction with Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technicians, were immediately mobilised to the scene, where the area was cordoned off.”

Daso further noted that a 12-year-old boy, Mustapha Tijja, sustained serious injuries and was taken to the FHI 360 NGO clinic in Banki, where he is responding to treatment.

“Further findings indicate that the injured boy had gone with four of his friends to a makeshift room behind the motor park, where the deceased were playing with an IED allegedly picked from the bush, when it accidentally exploded,” he said.

The deceased were identified as Awana Mustapha, 15; Malum Modu, 14; Lawan Ibrahim, 12; and Modu Abacha, 12.

Daso said normalcy had been restored to the area, adding that the investigation was ongoing.

“The Commissioner of Police, CP Naziru Abdulmajid, psc, has expressed deep condolences to the affected families and strongly warned members of the public, especially children, to avoid playing with strange objects or suspected explosive devices, and to promptly report such sightings to the nearest police station,” the statement concluded.

I helped you to fix [b]in the bush because it seems like you purposely removed where the bomb was found.

So that particular bomb was planted for the Southerns in the bush, and that's exactly why you want all Southerners leaving in the whole northern states to come back home right?

How do you find an IED inside the bush?
The IED didn't go off inside the bush until they brought it from the bush to the motor park, then it went off 'accidentally'.
Ok

Some real life Mortal Kombat kinda shit. Damn!

There is a need for public enlightenment on the shapes, look of bomb in the area

Oh usual nothing new about the news

This is serious.
May God rest their souls.
My thoughts and prayers are with the affected families.

As the good book says

John 1:46
And Nathanael said unto him,
Can there any good thing come out of the North?

Ok

You get!.. And who interrogated the ill-fated lads since they all perished in the blast for us to conclude that it was found in the bush and playfully relocated to the park where population numbers are sure to get casualties? Abi the observer was there with them the whole time?

Who is handling the security of Nigeria again?

Oga Christopher, the paparazi is over. Show workings now nor be chochocho

Truth be told, Nigeria is a mistake and can never work. Whether it's North v South or Christian v Muslim, it's unworkable.

The sooner Christians/Southerners separate themselves from the Northerners/Muslims, the better for them.

BH- the King's in the North.

How did they know where they got the bomb from? Did they speak to the dead? or they want to mislead us...they could be terrorists in training....just saying.
