Though there were conflicting reports as to how the two boys died, they were said to have been dumped in the fish pond by some individuals who came in a Keke NAPEP.

LEADERSHIP gathered that, one of the children who were said to be alive initially, died before anyone could come to their rescue while the other one who became unconscious was rushed to AbubakarTafawaBalewa Teaching Hospital Bauchi where he later died.

The children were between the ages of three and four.

According to some villagers who were working in a farm close to the fish pond,two women alighted from a Keke NAPEP to dump the victims in the fish pond.

“The man who rode the Keke NAPEP did not come down; he remained on board while the two women carried out the act. Immediately the two women came down from the Keke NAPEP,they threw something inside the fish pond and hurriedly entered the Keke NAPEP and left. Before we could get to the fish pond, the perpetrators had left. We got there to see two little children struggling for life. But before we could help them, they had given up the ghost,” they narrated.
