The other three siblings—Prayer, age 18, Trust in God, age 14, and Ebube, age 10—were severely burned and taken to the hospital, where they passed away a few days later.

The father of the victims, Chukwudi, in a report said that one of his children screamed for aid when he woke up.

He said,

“After waking up, I alerted neighbours who helped me to break the windows of the boys because their door was locked.

“We were able to rescue three of the boys from the fire, but one had already been burnt to death. We rushed them immediately to a hospital with the help of a neighbour’s car, but we eventually lost them.”

Amodu Shakiru, the state fire service’s public education officer, said that firefighters put out the fire and that five people were saved.

He said, “We rescued five persons and recovered the burnt body of a teenager.”
