The tragedy occurred at a pond about 500 meters from his community, where Kabiru had gone after being sent by his parents to cut grass for their livestock. Around 4:50 p.m., he slipped and fell into the pond, where he drowned.
Despite immediate rescue efforts by local divers and officials from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Kabiru was found dead.
The incident was reported by Ibrahim Sulaiman, District Head of Kadowawa, to DSC Sani Yusif, Divisional Officer of Jahun LGA. The NSCDC’s Divisional Disaster Management team, alongside local divers, carried out a search and rescue operation, but sadly, Kabiru’s life could not be saved.
NSCDC State Commandant Muhammad Danjuma expressed his condolences, stating, “We deeply sympathize with the family and the community for this heartbreaking loss. This incident serves as a reminder to parents to closely supervise their children and avoid sending them on such errands, especially during this season when water bodies are dangerously full.”
Kabiru’s remains have been returned to his family for burial, leaving the community to mourn the loss of a young life taken too soon.
