A Nigerian father has told the BBC about his grief after his three little daughters were killed by a car that crashed into them on Saturday.
The girls – aged 10, eight and six – were in high spirits when they left home as they were enjoying the Eid festive season, Abu Uwais said.
“They wore the new clothes and shoes I bought them and they were so happy to go out,” he added.
The driver has been arrested and is due to appear in court, police said.
He will be charged with reckless driving following the fatal accident in the small town of Toto in central Nasrawa state, police added.
The vehicle he was driving was burnt by an angry crowd that had gathered at the scene of the accident.
Mr Uwais told the BBC that he and his wife, Fatima, had lost their only children.
