A 16-year-old boy in Delta State tragically shot and killed his younger sister while handling their father's firearm. The Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe, confirmed the incident in a statement on X. The father, who described himself as a hunter, admitted that his son often played with the weapon. Edafe’s post reads: “I pray and hope I don’t have to bring this kind of report to you again because it’s so sad. The father claimed he is a hunter, his 16-year-old son, who always plays with his dad’s gun on this Faithful day, was playing with the gun, shot and killed his younger sister.” The police have not disclosed the identities of those involved or provided further details regarding the circumstances of the shooting.
