 Lagos couple lose four children to midnight fire

The Children


Four children were lost in a fire that destroyed a couple's two-room residence on Tapa Road, Oke-Oko, Isawo in the Ikorodu district of Lagos State, leaving Chukwudi and Bolani Michael inconsolable.

 According to MEDIA, the incident happened on Sunday, June 26, at 1pm, and one of the kids, Jeremiah, age 12, passed away immediately.

The other three siblings—Prayer, age 18, Trust in God, age 14, and Ebube, age 10—were severely burned and taken to the hospital, where they passed away a few days later.

Our correspondent learned from the family that the husband and wife shared a room with their eight-year-old surviving daughter, Esther, while they slept.

The four boys' sleeping quarters were claimed to have been completely destroyed by fire.

The father of the victims, Chukwudi, told  MEDIA that one of his children screamed for aid when he woke up.

"After waking up, I notified the neighbors, who assisted me in breaking the boys' windows because their door was locked," he claimed. Three of the boys were able to be extricated from the fire by us, but one was already dead from burn injuries. With the aid of a neighbor's car, we promptly drove them to a hospital, but we ultimately lost them.

The 46-year-old made a point of noting that men from the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service only arrived in the morning after the fire had been extinguished by neighbors.
Amodu Shakiru, the state fire service's public education officer, said that firefighters put out the fire and that five people were saved.

He said, "We retrieved the burned body of a teenager and saved five people."

The couple said they had no idea how the fire started because everything that could have ignited a fire had been extinguished.

At the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, the husband and wife were being treated for burns of varied degrees, according to our source.

Ayoshanu Samuel, the pastor at Covenant Light Church in Ikorodu, where the family and their kids attended services, confirmed to the MEDIA that the victims had been buried.

He claimed that Owutu Police received a complaint of the incident.
Benjamin Hundeyin, the state police's public relations officer, confirmed the occurrence.

Yes, it did happen, he replied. The issue is still being looked into.

By Victoryking nc
 THOUSANDS OF ANGRY ATAP STUDENTS HAVE PREPARED A PROCEDURE, REFUSE TO JOIN THE STRIKE. Thousands of students of the Abubakar Tatari Ali College of Science and Technology in Bauchi organized a peaceful protest in front of the college. Thousands of students have organized a protest following the signing by the Union of Voucher State College Teachers (jap) to go on a warning strike for two weeks. The students protested against the welfare of Shiga strike considering that some part of the students have started to write the second term and final term of diploma and NCE exams. Later, the leaders of the Students' Association (SUG EXCOS) tried to talk to the students, but the situation failed because they did not give them a chance to talk to even a single person among them. This protest is the first that the Atap students have ever organized to show their anger and disapproval of going on strike with the teachers union. We hope that God will put an end to this problem of strike through...
