According to the Delta State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe, the teenager was playing with the gun when it accidentally discharged, fatally injuring his sister.
It was gathered that emergency services were called immediately, but the young girl was pronounced dead at the scene.
Edafe noted that the father, who identified himself as a hunter, said he has no idea that his son had a habit of playing with his gun.
Edafe in an X (formally Twitter) post wrote, “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.”
This tragic event serves as a somber reminder of the devastating consequences that can arise from unsecured firearms and the critical need for vigilance and responsibility in gun ownership.
