Tragic: Family of 6 dies after eating cucumber in Cross-Rivers state.

Paul Baji has taken to his Facebook wall to narrate how a family of 6 died after eating cucumber in Obanliku local government area of Cross-Rivers state. He also posted the pictures. This is what he wrote.

Sadness has taken over the land of Amana, and indeed the entire Becheve ward in Obanliku LGA of Cross River State of Nigeria, as 6 grand children of one Mrs Dorthy Agbor from old Ikwette village a.k.a Bottom hill residing in Amana have died after eating cucumber.

Sources reveal that the children ate the fruit in absence of their grandmother, but under the supervision of their great grandmother as their grandma had attended the burial of one Mr. Emma Kechie.

On her return the next morning, she discovered that 5 of her grand children were unconscious, she then raised  alarm for help. This attracted the attention of friends, neighbors, and colleagues who came to her assistance by rushing the victims to nearby clinics.

Few minutes after, one of female child gave up the ghost. Two hours later, 2 boys followed. As if that was not enough, 4 hours later another female child died. As I speak with you now one of the victims who was undergoing treatment in the hospital has just died.

On hearing the death of these children, their great grandmother under whose supervision the children ate the fruit collapsed and died  few minutes after, bringing the total number of corpse to 6 from the same house.

What a tragedy.  At the moment 4 of the corpse have been taken to old Ikwette for burial. This is because the host community ( AMANA ) has objected to the idea of burying them in their land, as it is tragedy.

They also say is to avoid future occurance as this kind of thing has never happened in their land before.  The question one may be tempted to ask is, who must have destroyed the lives of these future leaders?.  Man may not come by the answer anyway, but  GOD alone. We pray that the souls of these innocent children rest in peace...... Amen
