The Oke-Ijebu area of Akure metropolis was, yesterday, thrown into mayhem as a 10-year-old pupil of All Saints Anglican Primary School allegedly pulled the trigger of a single barrel gun found behind the toilet of the school and killed his friend.
Unknown people had dropped two single barrel guns at the back of the toilet of the Primary School, in Oke-Ijebu. The students, who were playing during the break time, discovered the guns and started playing with them, thinking they were toys. In the process, one of the boys mistakenly pulled the trigger and killed his playmate in the process. The shooter also sustained injuries in the process.
The agitated residents of the area trooped to the school premises to confirm the incident, with parents expressing their worries about the condition of pupils in the school. Some of the parents hurriedly took their children home. The name of the two students involved in the incident was not confirmed as at press time. The school authorities declined to speak with journalists. The school was closed down, and the corpse of the dead student was deposited at a mortuary, while the injured one was receiving treatment at the state specialist hospital.
Aremu Adeniran, the spokesperson for the Ondo State Police Command, confirmed the incident, adding that the police suspect that the two guns were hid there by armed robbers. He also said that a sledge hammer, cutlass and other instrument were recovered, were unearthed during a routine search after the incident. According to him, investigations are ongoing to unravel those behind the cache.
