Must have been a contaminant. A toxicologist is needed to test the content of the amala.

There is no other explanation to the cause of their death than poison. It's either it was poison during the time of the preparation or during the time it was produced. But we just have to wait for the result of the autopsy in other to know what was actually the cause of this tragic incidence. May their souls rest in perfect peace.

kingsceemark: But why food poison 2 dey common in the south west? Abi na because dem 2 dirty. Everytime amala kill or beans kill, na 4 south west all dey happen. Make God help una

Unfortunate. Sad news.

This justifies the yoruba saying that says "Ona Ofun ni Ona Orun"

Please people should be careful of what goes into their mouth, because anything can happen at anytime,
Love all friends but trust very few.
