A mother and her two children were burnt to death in a fire outbreak that occurred in Riban Garmu village, Dewu Ward in Kirfi Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
Four other
persons sustained injuries in the inferno that completely razed the
four-bedroom house apartment and are currently receiving treatment at Kirfi
General Hospital.
It was
gathered that the fire was caused by a spark from the electricity connection in
the apartment while the family was asleep.
According to
an eyewitness, the mother and her children were screaming and crying for help
but all efforts to force the door of the apartment open in order to rescue them
failed.
The member
representing Kirfi Constituency at the State House of Assembly, Hon. Abdulkadir
Umar Dewu, paid a sympathy visit to the family of the victims on behalf of the
State Governor, Bala Mohammed.
He presented
a cash donation of the sum of N250,000 to the family on behalf of the Governor.
