Twenty four hours after a woman was shot dead by bandits, her seven months old baby who was strapped to her back at the time of her gruesome murder has been found alive on her back.

The baby named Habibu was retrieved from the back of her mother who was shot dead at Pandogari -Allawa road in Shiroro Local government area of Niger State.

According to the report on Daily Trust, the bandits operated along the road a day to Sallah and shot six passengers, including an SS 2 student of the Maryam Babangida Girls’ Science College, Minna, Hauwa Aliyu, and the mother of the baby to death.

The baby was however among the survivors of the attack which left six people dead.

It was reported that by the time Vigilantes visited the scene to evacuate the bodies, the baby was found at the back of her mother sleeping. 

The source disclosed that, “The incident happened on June 27, and six people lost their lives. Maryam called and informed us that she was coming home for the Sallah. We told her to stay back in school and celebrate the Sallah there but she insisted that she wanted to come home and celebrate with us.

“One Abubakar Ismail, a 16-year-old, who sustained gunshot injuries on his chest managed to run some distance before he was rescued and is now receiving treatment in a hospital.”
