A witness said two hands of one of them have reportedly been ripped off.

“It is terrible because one of them had his two hands ripped off, with one of his eyes affected while the other victims sustained serious injuries.”

“The other one is a bit stable. They said someone gave them a bobo container to play with it,” he said.

The witness said the victims are being treated at the Barau Dikko Hospital in Kaduna.
