DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN KADUNA

DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN KADUNA

Fire Outbreak

  On Monday 10th of March around Abubakar Kigo New extension, in the evening, a woman was planning to prepare dinner for her family. She lighted her stove and suddenly the fire from the stove erupted violently with an explosive sound. The woman quickly used a rag, carried the stove and made her way to the door in order to avert any further fire incident. But on getting close to the sitting room door, the door strangely locked up. The poor woman was panicking and out of confusion, dropped the stove in the sitting room and parked her children to her bed room. There was no escape route for thembecause of the burglary proof all around the house. The fire soon spread in the sitting room and the smoke was so intense. Due to smoke inhalation, the woman and her two children passed out and thus could not call for help.

  When the neighbour upstairs perceived the smoke and out of curiosity, decided to dash down stairs to see what was burning, lo and behold, she saw that the ground floor apartment was ablazed. She decided to call for help and people quickly came and broke into the house, brought out the wife and her two children and quickly rushed them to St. Gerard hospital.

  The neighbours then called the husband who was away to Abuja and relayed to him the unfortunate incident; he rushed back from his trip and went to the hospital to see his family. Two days later which is today, the wife gave up the ghost, ten minutes later, one of the children gave up the ghost, and yet, ten minutes later, the other child also passed away.

  A man who was also living around Abubakar Kigo new extension Kadunatook his Children to school this morning and when he came back, he went to lay down in his room unknown to him there was a big snake on his bed. When helaid down on his bed, the snake raised his head and bit the man.

  When the snake tried to escape, the man pursued it and eventually killed it. The man tied his hand (Above where the snaked had bitten him to stop the poison from spreading). The man then rushed to hospital for treatment but it was too late. He later gave up the ghost.
