At least three worshippers were trapped in a mosque at Supeja town, Niger State when a trailer loaded with powdered milk rammed into the worship centre.
The accident, Daily Trust, reports, occurred around 6am when many people had left the mosque after morning prayers.
According to eye witnesses, the trailer fell on the back section of the mosque where women and children pray.
The trapped victims including a child sustained injuries.
The trailer reportedly fell down while trying to navigate through a narrow part of the road blocked by a heap of sand being used for construction of new shops.
A resident, Baba Maiunguwa said the victims had been taken to Suleja General Hospital for treatment.
“The accident happened after Subh (early morning prayer). Three people have been taken away to hospital including a child. Alhamdulillah, there was no death.
“We are lucky that, people have left the Mosque after the prayer. It would have been bad, because the Mosque was filled up during the prayers,” he said.
