Mrs Buhari feeds to death 18-month- old baby with kerosene

TRAGEDY struck in Benin-City after 18 month old baby died, hours after the mother mistakenly served the child kerosene instead of water.

The tragic incident occurred at Iguma Street, Off Orewere Street,Medical Stores Road, Benin-City, about 10am. Sunday Vanguard learnt that the child requested for water, but Mrs. Ata Buhari, who sells kerosene, gave him the product stored in a beverage can thinking it was water.

She was shocked when the child spat out the kerosene, prompting the mother to cry for help.

It was learnt that minutes after swallowing the product, the little child’s eyes turned white, while screaming in pains. At this point, neighbours rushed to assist, forced the child to gulp some red oil before rushing him to hospital. The child died before receiving further treatment from the hospital.

Lamenting her ordeal, Mrs. Buhari, a native of Kogi State, regretted that one of her children had filled an empty can of beverage with water which they took to the shop that fateful morning, noting, however, that a similar container in which she stored kerosene was equally kept in her shop and, sadly, when the child complained of thirst, she mistakenly picked the one filled with kerosene and gave to the child.

The father of the child, Mr. Buhari Hassan, a bricklayer, said he was called to the hospital where he met the corpse of his only son. He appealed to Edo State government and kind-hearted individuals to assist him as the family lives in abject poverty.

My brother, i tire ooo!

The headline is designed to attract attention/patronage. Of course, expect those who don't like PMB to capitalise on the headline to further demonize the Buhari name

Seems anything Buhari is in crisis
From President Muhammadu Buhari who is ill in London to Aisha Buhari who is wanted by FBI for money laundering To a small boy,Buhari Mohammad,whose step mother severed his manhood and now to Mrs Buhari Ata who fed his son Kerosene and killed him

You gave a child Kerosene thinking it was water.

Please this lie is not tenable in any court of law. Even a mad man knows water and can differentiate it from other like fluids.

Kerosene is greasy, shiny even in the dark. And the repugnant smell of kerosene too

The OP has achieved his aim, he made me open this thread. This thread would garner over 5,000 views very soon (from 204 views now) and many people would be deceived into opening this thread.

so one can no longer differentiate kerosene from water? what kind of careless mother is this?
