The halter caught around the kid’s legs as he tried to get away. The boy sustained multiple injuries as a result of the animal dragging him for a kilometre.
Witnesses claimed that after they saw the occurrence, locals rushed into action, rushing after the animal in an effort to save the child.
But it wasn’t until the animal had travelled a fair way while pulling the youngster that they were able to step in and free him from the strap.
The injured kid was quickly taken to a neighbouring hospital, but he passed away from his serious wounds.
The second of Ibrahim’s four siblings, he was adored for his innocent and lively character. His father runs a clothing store.
