Despite the fact that some weeks have passed since the fire disasterthat wiped out five children of Mr. & Mrs. Augustine Ikwuagwu on Comfort Oboh Street, Kirikiri Town, Lagos, its bitter memory still lingers. Indeed, the tragedy has been a nightmare to the couple. When Saturday Sun met with the couple recently, pain and agony have overwhelmed them, as they recounted their loss.
Speaking amid tears, Mrs Margaret Ikwuagwu, said her finekids, Chukwuemeka (13), Ifeanyichukwu (10), Bright ( ![]() He said: “On December 12, I went to my wife’s shop and saw my children sleeping and I asked my wife to take them home, which she did. We did not lock the children inside the house, as people are saying, rather. Our 12-year-old son, Chukwuemeka, took them home, and when the fire started, no one cared to call us and as a result, our children got burnt to death. We have three male and two female children and they died same day. As it is, I have no house, no property and no child. People are saying that we locked the children inside the room and lighted a candle, but I am telling you that we did not lock them inside and we did not use candle at all; what we use was rechargeable lamp.” He also stated that the cause of the fire isyet to be known. “We are still surprised about how the fire started and up till this moment, we have not been able to know the cause of the fire. But God hasthe answer,” he stated. Mr. Ikwuagwu said the fact that they watched their five children suffer and died in the fire was the worstthing that has happened to him and his wife. “I wanted to kill myself because I do not know where I am going from here. I do not think, I can cope because my entire life struggles are gone. After five children, we have decided not to bear children again. But now, we are starting again,” he lamented. He stated that since the incident, life has not been easy for his family, revealing that he and his wife are still receiving treatment in the hospital. “It has not been easy for us since then. We have no child, shelter, clothes, money and property. Also, we have not recovered from the shock. So, anyone who knows what it takes to lose five children and everything should please assist us to come back to life. My wife’s spirit has gone down; she has been thinking of how to get another child,” Ikwuagwu lamented.

^^^ As cruel as it sounds, its all man for himself in such situation, hate to blame govt for everything but the epileptic power supply also didn't help. All in all the larger portion of the blame goes to the parents. May God grant the dead repose and those alive fortitude to bear the loss, AMEN! |

I knew no sane parent woiuld lock their children in a candle lit room. The initial info was just mere speculation from neighbours who were too busy rescuing theirs (not that I blame them much). I don't think anybody can ever recover from this kind of loss. May the poor kids RIP ![]() |
