An eyewitness, Steve Akerele said the fire started in one of the rooms where the father of the children, Mohammed Okene, a local petroleum marketer, kept some petroleum products.
The man had gone to St. Gerald General Hospital to see his wife and mother of the children, who put to bed through a caesarean operation, when the fire broke out.
According to him, the fire had engulfed the whole room before neighbours put it out and rushed the children to the hospital. One of them died instantly and this morning, it was confirmed that the remaining four had died.
While Mohammed had gone home to see the extent of damage, the mother of the children has not been informed of the tragedy.

ReplyDeleteOh God! Inna lillah wa inna illaehi rajiun!!
ReplyDeleteWhere the kids locked inside the house? It's good to have a nice support system (trusted family members, friends etc.)Parents should never lock young kids alone in the house especially at night. Your neighbour's gen might catch fire and set the whole house ablaze or anything could trigger a fire especially in this Nigeria where people aren't so careful.
God console their parents and may the newborn live long and be more than just one child for the parents (Amen).
God have mercy. Five children! May God grant them the strength to bear these losses.
ReplyDeleteA house with children and in the same house petroleum products were kept in a room. Why didn't he have a detached store to keep them or is he a bunkerer?
ReplyDeleteWho does that?
Five kids died and they just had a sixth by Caesarean? Hmmm
May they rest in peace.
OMG! What kind of useless, greedy man is this?
