The bodies of two children, between ages three
and four, were found in a fish pond near Railway Quarters in Bauchi
metropolis of Bauchi State.
Though there were
different reports on how the little children died, they were said to have been
dumped in the pond by some individuals who came in a commercial tricycle
commonly known as ’Keke Napep’.
According to sources, it was gathered that,
one of the children was said to be alive initially but died before anyone could
come to their rescue while the other one who became unconscious was
rushed to AbubakarTafawaBalewa Teaching Hospital Bauchi where he later
died.
Leadership reports:
According to some
villagers who were working in a farm close to the fish pond, two women alighted
from a Keke NAPEP to dump the victims in the fish pond.
“The man who rode the
Keke NAPEP did not come down; he remained on board while the two women carried
out the act. Immediately the two women came down from the Keke NAPEP, they
threw something inside the fish pond and hurriedly entered the Keke NAPEP and
left. Before we could get to the fish pond, the perpetrators had left. We got
there to see two little children struggling for life. But before we could help
them, they had given up the ghost,” they narrated.
When contacted, the
spokesman of the Bauchi State Police Command, ASP Hassan Muhammad Auyo, said
he was not aware of the incident, but promised to get back to our correspondent
if he got any information.
