They explained that the family, which shares a six bed room house with their neighbors, was discovered after they failed to wake up in the morning hours; which was unusual as Sekou’s wife, Naomi, who sells food in the community usually wakes up early to prepare her food.
“When the family went to bed, they couldn’t wake up the next morning, so people came around and decided to break in and discovered them unconscious. “
“Three of the children died, and up to now the hospital has not officially told us what really happened to them,” explained an official of the community.
Narrating their ordeal upon regaining consciousness at the ELWA Hospital, the couple, Amos and Naomi Sekou told FrontPage Africa that while in bed Thursday night, two of their kids suddenly woke up and began to cry and behave strangely.
“In the middle of the night our children woke up and started crying and jerking at the same time they were sweating; but when we asked them what happened, they can’t say anything.”
“Then within that time, my eye began to turn and I sent my daughter to buy milk and she brought it, I drank some and gave them some also, then we went to bed. That was all I can remember,” Amos explained.
When questioned on what could be the cause of the incident, nurses at the hospital could not say
