Tears As Imo Buries Family Of Five Killed By Food Poison

[Shola Sholaz]

It was a sorry sight to behold as five white caskets containing the lifeless bodies of Madam Grcae and her daughters were brought into the sleepy rural community of Egbelu Nguru, Ngor Okpalaeke local council area of Imo State for burial.
.
The unfortunate victims mysteriously died May 31, this year, after consuming a local but very nutritious delicacy, Ugba (oil bean salad), prepared by the matriarch of the family, Grace Nwosu.
.
Those interred included Prophetess Grace Nwosu, Chinelo Nwosu (a 400 level studen of University of Nigeria, Nsukka), Chidera Nwosu, Njideka Nwosu, Chizitere Nwosu. The grand-children, Ijeoma and Amaka Frank were buried in their hometown, Mbieri, Mbaitoli local government area of the state.
.
Many people who were at the scene, were simply dumbfounded. Emotions ran very high. Tears flowed freely.
.
Others wailed uncontrollable, while a good number of sympathizers endlessly cursed those they claimed poisoned the oil bean salad, which  killed Madam Grace Nwosu, her children.
.
The confused nature in the arena naturally forced members of Cherubim and Seraphim Church, who were conducting the requiem service to temporarily halt proceedings until some sanity was restored.
.
Senior Apostle John Afokalam, who delivered the homily cursed those who perpetrated the evil act. He further promised that they will never go unpunished, adding that their only saviour would be if they openly confessed their sin to God and before Egbelu Nguru people.
