It was a sad day in Becheve ward
in Obanliku in Cross River State yesterday after five grandchildren of one Mrs
Dorothy Agbor died when they reportedly ate a cucumber given to them by their
great grandmother.
Their great grandmother reportedly died on hearing the news
that her grandchildren had died. Facebook user, Paul Baji, who shared the sad
news on his page, wrote;
"JOY
OVERWHEM BY TRAGEDY. Sadness has taken over the land of Amana, and indeed the
entire Becheve ward in Obanliku HAVe 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 cocumber. Sources reveal that the
children ate the fruit in absence of their grand mother, 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 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 buring 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"
