#EndSARS: Boy, 13, falls off moving truck, dies in Delta
Tragedy struck when a 13-year-old boy died on Monday after falling off a moving truck during the #EndSARS protest in Sapele, Delta State.
He was said to have joined hundreds of other protesters who stormed the streets of Sapele to air out their grievances.
The young boy who reportedly jumped on the back of the moving truck that was headed out of the ancient town fell off and died of injuries sustained, Tribune Online reports.
“He jumped on a moving truck that was heading outside town and the next thing was that he fell from the back of the moving truck and before we could rush him to the clinic, he died,” a witness narrated.
The corpse of the teenager was thereafter wrapped in the Nigeria green-white-green flag and put on the back of the open truck for display at the Amukpe area of Sapele.
