A midnight fire out burnt a family of five to death on Wednesday at Mosan in Mosan Okunola
Local Council Development Area, Lagos, southwest Nigeria.
The victims were fast asleep when the incident happened in their three bedroom
Boys Quarters bungalow located at 9, F Close, Mosan.
Among the victims of the fire disaster, according to PM News report was
Chukwu Nwike, who sold female clothes at Yaba, his aunt and her three children.
Nwike was said to be living with the aunt while the husband of the deceased, a pastor,
was said to be on a pastoral mission outside the state.
It was gathered that it took the combined efforts of Agege and Ikotun Fire Service
men to put out the fire.
When the door of the bungalow was eventually broken after the fire was put out,
the remains of Nwike was found close to the burglary proof with one of the kids clinging to it.
The remains of the victims have been removed and deposited in the mortuary.
It was gathered that their neighbours who occupy a four storey building inside the same
compound with the deceased, did little or nothing to rescue them.
Some residents of the area who spoke with our correspondent said they could not
fathom what caused the midnight inferno.
...what a painful way to die!
