In Jigawa State, three teenage boys from the same family sadly lost their lives because a part of their house fell down. This happened in a place called Birnin Kudu.
The police spokesperson, DSP Lawan Shiisu, told everyone about this sad event on Tuesday. He said it happened in a town called Dutse. Three other people were also hurt but they are still alive.
Shiisu mentioned that the father of the boys, Ahmad Isah, went to the Birnikudu police station to report it. Ahmad lives in a part of Birnin Kudu called Kafar Bai quarters.
“Today, around 12:05 p.m., Ahmad Isah from Kofar Bai quarters told us that one of the rooms in his house had crashed down,” Shiisu explained.
When they heard this, the police quickly went to help. They worked with good neighbors to rescue seven people from the fallen building.
The injured were rushed to the Birninkudu General Hospital to see the doctors. Shiisu said.
When they got to the hospital, the doctor checked everyone. Unfortunately, three of the seven people had already passed away. Their names were Khalifa Ahmad, who was 13 years old, Tijjani Ahmad, who was 12, and Rabiu Ahmad, who was also 12 years old.
The three boys who died were given back to their family so they could have a proper burial. The other four people who were hurt are still in the hospital but are getting better.
