Seven out of a family of eight, were on Thursday midnight burnt beyond recognition in their house in Anyamkor area of Gboko East, Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State. The inferno killed the head of the family, his wife, two girls and three boys. The eldest son survived.
According to The Punch, the head of the family, popularly referred to as Mr Oye, had just returned from a crusade in Osun State a day before the tragedy.
The newspaper quotes neighbours as saying that when the house was on fire around midnight, they believed the family members had gone to church, since there was no distress calls from the house.
The report states further:
“An eyewitness, who identified himself as Toryima, told The Punch that they only noticed a huge fire over the building but were helpless as there was no fire service station in the town.
He wondered what could have caused the inferno as there was no power supply in the town at that time.
