A seven-month-old baby boy, named Habibu has been found alive 24 hours after suspected bandits shot his mother to death along the Pandogari-Allawa road in Shiroro LGA of Niger State.

The incident reportedly happened on the eve of Eid el-Kabir.

The baby was miraculously found sleeping on his mother’s back 24 hours after her death.

According to Daily Trust, the bandits who blocked the Pandogari-Allawa road 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 president of Lakpma Youth Assembly, Jibril Allawa, while confirming the incident, said the boy was rescued by local vigilantes.

He said, “Miraculously, the baby was one of the survivors of the attack in which six people were killed. Vigilantes who went the following day to evacuate the remains of the victims found the baby sleeping on his dead mother’s back”.

“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,” he added.
