Delta Teen Accidentally Shoots Sister With Father’s Gun

A tragic incident in Delta State, Nigeria, involved a 16-year-old boy accidentally shooting and killing his younger sister with their father's hunting rifle while playing with it. The boy admitted to frequently tampering with the gun without his father's knowledge, who is a hunter and reportedly left the firearm accessible to the children. The father inherited the gun and was unaware that his son had access to it, raising serious concerns about gun safety and storage practices at home. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and calls for stricter firearm storage laws and responsible gun ownership, especially in households with children. Police have emphasized the legal responsibility of the boy, who falls under juvenile law, and investigations are ongoing. This case highlights the urgent need for increased public awareness and enforcement of gun safety measures to prevent similar tragedies.
