A portion of dukku hill on Saturday fell on 8 Almajiri students at Badariya area in Birnin Kebbi.
According to the head teacher, Mallam Dan umma who was too heart broken to speak to the press, said that, the incident happened on Saturday morning not knowing the cause as he was alerted by the cries of people at the back of the house only to see a large portion of the hill has fallen on the almajiris killing eight of them instantly while one was rescued from the rubbles and was been admitted at the hospital.
He said, the hill is just behind the place housing him and the almajiris and the is same place they use as toilets and as well dig it to collect clay to mould clay blocks in preparation to build a small room for themselves.
People of the area throng the scene of the incident to catch a glimpse of the fallen portion of the hill and to sympathize with the local Islamic cleric.
The Dukku hill is so vast that it stretched to residential buildings due to population expansion and accommodation problem, they have been buried according to islamic rights.
