Three members of a family have been burnt to death at their home in Otukpo, Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue state, IgbereTV reports.

IgbereTV gathered that the incident occurred in a two-bedroom flat of Jesus College Quarters, home of the father of the victims, Mr Ochoche Ode, at around 1.00 a.m on Friday December 17.

According to Ode, the fire was noticed at midnight by his wife’s younger sister who perceived that something was burning while three of his children were asleep.

He said that he was in one of the rooms with his wife when they were alerted of the incident.

"As I was about to find out what was happening, the fire escalated, covering the whole room where my kids were sleeping and in an attempt to force myself into the room to rescue the children, my face got badly burnt. All attempts by neighbours to quell the fire failed and all my three children were burnt to death,” Ode said.

Spokesperson of the command, DSP Sewuese Anene, confirmed the incident on Friday in Makurdi.

Abrahamochoga Ab wrote on Facebook;

"The fire outbreak yesterday at Jesus college quarter about 1:am this morning was the worst thing that can ever happen to a family, dad and mum escape and the three children got burnt, we try all our effort to rescue the children but not possible because the fire has already takeover the whole building and is a very old apartment. Very sympathetic seeing your three children dying with pains and no way one can help. May the Almighty God receive their soul in Jesus name."

This is the worst thing that can befall any parent. Losing one's children in a day?
The feeling and pain is undescribable and can only be understood by those that had pass through similar stuff.

May God give these parents the strength to pass through this incident.

Rip to the kids.

May God save our children.

May the evil wind blowing across the world in search of the little ones and attacking them stop and not blow anymore in Jesus Name. Amen. What we've been hearing for the past two weeks across the globe about children is appalling. Lagos lost more in the last 2 weeks, followed by Mexico. This week, it was US and pockets of similar incidents in other parts if the world, including Nigeria.

Subhanallah!

Too many deaths...

When we told people that God doesn't exist they argue with us, what has this innocent children did to him that he killed them ? Why can't he protect his children ? Does it means he is happy seeing innocent poor children dying ? Why God is so incompetent ?
