10-year Old Nigerian boy dies while removing explosives strapped to his body

While trying to remove explosives forcibly strapped to his body by Militant Islamists, a 10-year-old cattle herder lost his life in North-Eastern Nigeria.

According to the Police, the deceased’s younger brother also got injured in the incident, which happened over the weekend in the outskirts of Maiduguri. It was gathered that the two children came in contact with the Boko Haram militants while grazing their animals.

They were forced to wear a suicide vest, and warned him not to tell anyone about it and not remove it until he got home. They returned home and the sad incident occurred while the vest was being unstrapped.
