The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the incident occurred in Shiroro Local Government Area of the state last Friday.

Dr Bello said in a statement issued in Minna that ``I have already put machinery in motion to ensure that the four months old boy receives the best medical attention possible so he can recover quickly.''

‎``It is heartbreaking to see an innocent boy go through such a near death experience.''

The governor’s wife then appealed to the public to always exercise restraint ‎when they were angry ``so that innocent children or even adults don't become victims of unwarranted violence.''
