This was confirmed by some militiamen on Friday, AFP reports.
Five children were killed on Thursday while playing with a disused grenade outside Ngala community in Borno State, a town that shares the border with Cameroon.
In August 2014, the Boko Haram terrorist group raided Ngala along with the nearby trading hub of Gamboru. Ari said unexploded mines and grenades from the conflict still litter the surrounding countryside and many children had been killed or injured.
