A 16-year-old boy identified as Abubakar has met his untimely death after being buried alive. The tragic incident occurred in the Zaria area of Kaduna State, where Abubakar was allegedly buried by his two older siblings over a missing phone. The brothers, aged 22 and 18, had reportedly argued about the missing phone while they were in Abuja. Fueled by anger, they followed Abubakar back to Zaria, where they buried him alive as a form of punishment. The boy was discovered in the early hours of Monday, August 12, 2024, when a good Samaritan noticed his head protruding from a hole in an abandoned property.
