A trailer loaded with powdered milk has rammed into a mosque at Suleja, Niger State, on Tuesday, leaving at least three persons trapped.
The is reported to have occurred around 6:00am when many worshipers had left the mosque after morning prayers.
Eyewitnesses say the trailer fell on the back section of the mosque where women and children pray.
They confirmed that three people, including a child, were trapped in the ruins and subsequently sustained injuries.
Sympathisers were seen around the fallen vehicle which blocked part of the ever-busy Biba Road close to the popular Babangida Market.
The eyewitnesses add that the trailer fell down while trying to negotiate a narrow part of the road blocked by a heap of sand being used for the construction of new shops.
A resident, Baba Maiunguwa, told reporters that the 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 have left the Mosque after the prayer. It would have been bad because the Mosque was filled up during the prayers”.
