At least three persons have been reportedly trapped as a trailer loaded with powdered milk rammed into a mosque at Suleja, Niger State.
It was learnt that the incident happened on Tuesday, around 6am when many people had left the mosque after morning prayers.
The trailer was said to have fallen on the back section of the mosque where women and children pray, leaving three people, including a child, trapped in the ruins and subsequently sustaining injuries.
The trailer reportedly fell down while trying to negotiate a narrow part of the road blocked by a heap of sand being used for construction of new shops.
A resident, Baba Maiunguwa, told Daily Trust that three people had been taken to Suleja General Hospital for treatment.
He said, ”The accident happened after Subh (early morning prayer). Three people have been taken away to hospital including a child. Alhamdulillah, there was no death.
“We are lucky that people had left the Mosque after the prayer. It would have been bad, because the Mosque was filled up during the prayers.”
