School Toilet collapse in Niger kills two children

Two children have been found dead in the rubble of a collapsed toilet of UK Bello Memorial Primary School, Paiko, in Paikoro Local Government Area of Niger State.

It’s uncertain what the children were doing around the building that was said to be weak.

While some sources said the children, a boy, and a girl, were hawking sachet water with their colleagues around the school when the building collapsed on them, killing them on the spot, some said they were scavenging for scraps to sell when in the process of digging around the building, it collapsed.

May their gentle souls rest in peace. Amen
