Poisonous Amala Meal Wipes Out Family Of 3 In Ogun State

Ogun State – Three members of a family, Isioma Ufili, 4, Victoria Ufili, 30 (mother) and Favour Nkiruka Ufili, 26,
have died after eating a meal of yam flour, better known as amala. The mother, Victoria, prepared and served the meal at their 85, Opeilu Road, Agbado, Ogun State, southwest Nigeria.

The family’s last born, a nine-month old baby boy, survived having sucked his mother’s bosoms after she ate the meal. He was treated at Overcomers Hospital, Agbado-Crossing alongside his mother, who later died at the same hospital. Mr. Ufili, a petty trader, didn’t eat from the meal because he was away at work.

It was gathered that last Saturday, Mrs. Ufili went to the market after which she prepared the amala meal suspected to be poisonous for her family to eat. Shortly after taking the meal in the evening, it was Isioma that first complained of stomach pains, after which she started vomiting.

A few minutes later, the mother had the same symptoms and both of them were rushed to Overcomers Hospital, Agbado-Crossing. “But they rejected Isioma because her case was too critical and referred her to Ifako General Hospital. From there she was also referred to the Ikeja General Hospital. She eventually died at the Ikeja General Hospital at about 6am on Monday, the same day the sister, Favour and mother, Victoria eventually died,”

Mr. Charles Ikechukwu, the younger brother of Mr. Ufili said. Ikechukwu explained that a few hours after Isioma’s death, they received a call from the Ifako General Hospital. “When we got there, they told us that Mrs. Ufili had died. They also said that we should take care of the baby because he was also vomiting, having sucked his mother’s bosoms.”

Mrs. Ufili’s body has been deposited at the mortuary.

If those people are truly igbos and not the usual 'Nigeria' media doing their thing then its what I call cultural efulefu. Igbo family victims amala. Anywhere if you live in those areas be careful. RIP to the deceased.

if this is true may their souls Rest In Peace. ...sad!

R.I.P to the dead but I want to know how a flood of killer Amala in Ogun state kills only 3 members of the SAME family when amala is a staple food in Ogun state ? Was the late wife or other members of the family careless with rat poison or other dangerous substances ? There are questions to answer obviously but this aspect of killer amala flooding Ogun state is simply ridiculous except (God forbids) a lot more people die.
