The grenade blasted on Thursday 15th April 2021 morning when the boy climbed onto the rooftop of their house to fix a roofing tile. <\/p>\n
As he reached the rooftop, he saw a cord fastened to a metal object which he took down and played with it. <\/p>\n
His sister and mother warned him against playing with the object which shortly started exuding smokes. <\/p>\n
The executive secretary of Gacurabwenge sector, Christine Nyirandayisabye has told IGIHE that the victim immediately threw the object to a nearby avocado tree and exploded instantly. <\/p>\n
The boy was injured on the shoulder and arm, on the belly around the waist. He was immediately taken for medical attention. <\/p>\n
Local leaders rushed to the scene where they realized that it was a grenade that had been laid on the roof of their house. <\/p>\n
Nyirandayisaba appealed to the residents to alert local leaders in case they find strange objects and avoid playing with them. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe would like to comfort residents and reassure that their security is guaranteed. We also advise them against playing with strange objects,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
