An unidentified man reportedly lost three of his fingers following his (careless) handling of banger popularly known as knockouts.
Banger is a type of fireworks commonly used during the festive periods. The police have routinely advised the public against using it. And for good reasons too.
The story was shared online by a concerned Nigerian who said the man was receiving treatment for his injuries. They say they want to sensitise the public on the dangers of the use of the fireworks.
Sharing a graphic image of the injured fingers they write:
“That’s the effect of bangers. This guy lighted a banger ad it amputated his three fingers.
“My sister is treating the person. Just want to share it so others can benefit from it.
“Thank you.”
We guess the guy missed the police memo banning the use of bangers. Worse still, he probably ignored the safety guideline on the package.
Hard luck and we’re not being mean by the way.
