Tragedy
struck the family of Aggery at Obokohia, Ohaji/Egbami Local Government
Area of Imo State yesterday when it lost four children to a midnight
fire. The four children, aged between 6 and 12, were burnt to death while asleep. The victims, Mercy, Ify, Chioma and Onyinyechi, reportedly came back from their maternal home by 7pm on the day they died. They had gone to their maternal home to spend the long vacation.
The source of the fire, which could not be ascertained as at press time, lasted for hours after reducing the family property to rubble. The combined effort of neighbours and relations, who were awakened by the wailing from the parents of the kids, later brought the fire under control. The father, Mr. Charles Aggery, told reporters that it was an irony of fate that his kids could finish their long holidays with their maternal relations only to come back home and met their untimely death..
