Four children of the same parents were on Monday burnt to death after a burning candle caused an inferno that burnt down their one bedroom apartment in Omuko village, Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
It was gathered that the parents of the deceased who hail from Ebonyi State, were not in the apartment when the tragedy occurred.
The deceased identified as Ikechukwu, Chinonso, Chisom, and Chioma were rushed to Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, where they were confirmed dead.
Father of the children, Mr Ozoemena Nwoye, while expressing his pain over the death of his children affirmed, “I am so devastated by the fire incident. I want help from the public. My family has been suffering from one problem to another.
“We do not really have any hope right now. We do not know who to run to. I am appealing to kind-hearted Nigerians to please come to our aid, with whatever they can afford to give us, so that we can bury our children and settle the hospital bills.”
