Mother n Daughter Stung To Death

A strange drama seems to have played out over the weekend in Ogwashi-Uku community near Asaba, Delta State, when a woman in her mid-50s and her teenage son were allegedly stung to death by strange bees. 
The woman, a vice principal in one of the secondary schools in Agbor, was said to have gone on sightseeing with her son and a woman friend who had visited them on a fateful weekend to the state-owned polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku.  

It was reliably gathered that the victim, alongside her husband and her children, was in Ogwashi-Uku, their hometown to celebrate the New Yam Festival. 

According to Leadership, the victim had driven her son and her woman friend to the Fine and Applied Art Department area located within the permanent site of the polytechnic to see the development going on in the institution when they were allegedly attacked by the wild bees. 

The wild bees came from nowhere and allegedly attacked the boy when he fell to the ground and was covered by the rampaging bees before his mother rushed to save the little boy.  

It was said that the bees instantly moved to her, covering all parts of her body. 

The victim’s friend who witnessed the incident was said to have raised the alarm that attracted both the security people and the men of the state-owned fire service posted to the institution but their effort to reduce the effect of the sting, as they used a liquid substance on the victims, were abortive.
