His sibling was also injured.
The victims had just returned from school to their mother’s shop when they were hit by stray bullets
Speaking to our correspondent on Wednesday in Asaba, Delta State, the deceased’s father, Mr Fidelis Omhonria, said that the family is going through a trying time.
Omhonria said, “We just finished the funeral service now at the St. Vienna Catholic church, DBS road.
“And he has been laid to rest at burial ground. He has gone to his maker. Our concern now is how to treat the child (his sibling).
