A stray bullet from military personnel on Saturday killed a nine-year-old named Zainab Bala-Umar at Gwanki Ward, Makarfi Local Government during the ongoing local government elections in Kaduna State.
An eye witness, Alhaji Yahaya Gwanki said the stray bullet was discharged by military personnel in efforts to disperse the crowd after the soldier was invited by a former chairman of Makarfi local government who is also the APC candidate in the election.
The eyewitness said the APC candidate, Alhaji Kabir Maiyere had gone to one of the polling units under Fadamar Gwanki and while having a conversation with an electoral officer over some challenges of the e-voting machine, some youths had to start to shout, ‘ba ma so, ba ma so” meaning “we don’t want.
“Maiyere then invited soldiers who shot in the air and in the process, the girl was hit and she died,” Gwanki said.
