Little Emmanuel was said to be sleeping in his mother’s room when fire was noticed in the room at about 9.00pm.
An eyewitness told Daily Sun that the fire was caused by a candle on one of the tables in the room where the deceased slept.
It was gathered the boy and his mother, who left secondary school after being impregnated last year, were living with his grandmother.
Daily Sun reliably learnt that men of the state fire service took drastic steps to avert the fire disaster but their efforts could not rescue the boy.
I'm sure the grand-mother and the mother have both heard about fire accidents that have happened from people who left candles burning, with just a little more caution that crisis would have been averted.
ReplyDeleteThese days LED lamp stands that run on batteries are actually cheaper to run than candles,let's not talk about the recheargable types (because we all know PHCH) Candles cost 50 or 60 naira and don't last more than 30 minutes but on the average batteres could last you a few days to a week.
May God comfort them in Jesus Name.
Amen
