This is really heartbreaking. Three children were on Friday December 1, burnt to death at their parent’s home in Benue state.
According to reports, the sad incident happened around 1.00 a.m in their two-bedroom flat located at Jesus College Quarters in Otukpo Local Government Area of the state.
Recounting how it all happened, their father, Mr Ochoche Ode, revealed that the fire was noticed at midnight by his wife’s younger sister who perceived that something was burning while three of his children were asleep.
He and his wife were in one of the rooms with his wife when they were alerted.
Ode said;
“As I was about to find out what was happening, the fire escalated, covering the whole room where my kids were sleeping and in an attempt to force myself into the room to rescue the children, my face got badly burnt.
All attempts by neighbours to quell the fire failed and all my three children were burnt to death”.
The sad news was confirmed by the Spokesperson of the command, DSP Sewuese Anene on Friday in Makurdi.
