Mother, 4 children die of suspected food poisoning in Anambra

Abubor Nnewichi community, Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State, was thrown into panic when a mother and her four children died from suspected food poisoning.

The victims, identified as Onyinye (mother) and her children, Miracle, Dominion, Amanda, and Kosi, reportedly died after consuming their dinner on Monday.

At the time of filing this report, the exact cause of the poisoning is still uncertain.

The husband and father of the deceased, who was not present at the time of the incident, was rushed to the hospital after suffering a shock upon returning home to find his family members lifeless.

Two other siblings, a boy and a girl, escaped the tragedy as they were not living with their parents in Nnewi.

Anambra State Police spokesman, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incident, saying investigations were on.

Meanwhile, the bodies of the victims have been deposited at the morgue for autopsy.

“It is a case of sudden and unnatural death reported to the command,” Ikenga said.
