“Some parents started to rush in to bring their children outside when they heard that the children were fainting. Some of the children got hurt. One leg got broken. They put them in the car and took them away” a witness told FrontPage Africa on the scene. FrontPage Africa has not been able to independently verify this information.
According to the eye witness, as the children began fainting, a man identified as Mohammed started taking photographs of wounded children but he was stopped by Rep. Korlubah’s securities.
