Blessed Adam, Elizabeth Adam and John Oluwadare were ages of 6, 9 and 15
respectively, were on Saturday, electrocuted following a suspected
power surge in Eku, Delta State.
It was learnt that the children were electrocuted when an electric cable
connecting power to their apartment got burnt and came in contact with a
burglar proof while they were reportedly playing at the veranda. .
.
The deceased were the only ones at home when the incident occurred.
Mother of the children, Elohor Gabriel, who is in her late 30s,
confirmed the ugly incident on Tuesday, adding that she was yet to come
to terms with the fact that her three children had gone. .
.
Elohor who wept profusely, told journalists, “I went out to buy them
bread but when I returned, I saw people by my apartment and they told me
what happened, I immediately rushed to the hospital where my children
were taken to only to see their lifeless bodies.”
