The children were John Oluwadare, 15; Elizabeth Adam, 9, and Blessed Adam 6.It was learned that the electricity cable, connecting their apartment along Eku-Abraka Road from the national grid, came in contact with a burglary proof the children were holding onto during a power surge.
Ms Gabriel reportedly went out to buy bread for the children when the incident occurred. Recounting her ordeal to Vanguard yesterday at Eku, the bereaved mother said:
“I was surprised to see people gathered in my apartment when I returned from where I had gone to buy bread for my children. “I never knew something serious that will alter my destiny had happened. On getting to my apartment, I was told what happened. I did not know how I got to the hospital, where my children were taken, only to see their lifeless remains. It was like the entire world had collapsed.”
A neighbour, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Vanguard: “
We ran into our houses when we noticed the spark on Saturday night. That was when the children were electrocuted because they were holding onto the burglary proof of their apartment.”
