3 kids of same mother die after cassava meal

 Three children of the same mother, have reportedly died after taking cassava meal suspected to be poisoned. The tragedy, which occurred in Enugu State, south east Nigera has thrown the entire vicinity into mourning and confusion.

The trio died one after the other same day when they ate fermented cassava meal last Sunday. Two of them died at the University of Nigeria Medical Centre while the youngest also passed on almost immediately.

The siblings, according to neighbours, said that before their demise, they were stooling profusely as they battled against death. The mother was said to be away from home when the tragedy occurred.

The late Mr. Lawrence Ugwuanyi, who married three wives and a former staff of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), died less than two years ago, with his eldest son dying few months later.

It was gathered that there was no love lost among the three widows of the late Ugwuanyi, prompting speculations that the three children might have died of food poisoning. The elder brothers of the deceased siblings were also suspected to have died through a similar circumstance.
