A woman identified as Iya Samson
was spotted half naked after losing four of her children in a kerosene
explosion at her residence.
The fire outbreak which took
place last Friday night at Rumukwucha community, Rivers State, resulted from
the adulterated kerosene she poured into her cooking stove.
According to a Vanguard report,
the woman was seen yesterday around GRA junction half-naked and appealing to
passers-by to help rescue her children.
An eyewitness, Uche who lives in
the neighbourhood said the lady was cooking when the stove suddently went up in
flames, consuming her four children and other valuables in her apartment.
“We heard people saw her around
GRA area of Port Harcourt begging that they should help recover her children
from fire.
“Those who saw her did not know
we were looking for her. They mistook her for a mad person.“ Uche said.
Her husband, Mr Ademola Danaogun
has appealed to Port Harcourt residents to help bring back his wife wherever
she is found.
He pleaded with the public not to
attack his wife or mistake her for a witch or mad woman, emphasising that she
had not recovered from the shock of the sad and painful loss.
He said, “We have been looking
for her since. Some said they saw her at Ogbogoro; we have gone there to look
for her, but didn’t find her.
“Yesterday evening, some people
said they saw my wife at GRA. They said she was shouting that her four children
were burning in fire.
“Please, if you see my wife,
don’t kill her. People may conclude that she is a witch and had killed the
children.
“No, it is not like that. I want
to see her and take her home. We are going back to our state because we have
lost everything.”
