Sorrowful wednesday night :9-months-old baby burns to death

Tragedy struck in Sapele, Delta state on
Wednesday night as a 9-month-old baby
who was reported to have been locked in
the house by her parents was burnt to
death.
The little girl’s mother was said to have
gone to the market to conduct her business
of plaiting people’s hairs at the Sapeele
yam garage while the father was also at
work.
Reports say the whole building was burnt
down before officials of the Sapeele Fire
Fighting Service arrived.
Read the Nigerian Eye report below:
It was reported that the grand-father of
the infant who was alerted of the
incident was later involved in salvaging
other parts of the building without
knowing that his grand child had been
consumed by the fire.
When reporters isited the scene,
neighbours and sympathizers where
seen wailing over the loss of the baby
just as household items littered the place.
At press time, the cause of the fire was
yet to be ascertained, but source at the
Sapele Fire Fighting department, who
preferred anonymity, confirmed that it
was due to electrical spark from power
fluctuation.
