Date: 2021-07-15

Another tragedy struck in the Ilorin East Local Government Area of Kwara State on Tuesday as three members of the same family reportedly died of suspected food poisoning.

Though details of the incident were sketchy on Wednesday evening, it was gathered that the victims were from one of the communities in the Ilorin East Local Government Area of the State.

It was learnt that the incident involved five siblings of the same parents, who consumed a locally prepared yam flour meal (Amala).

They were reportedly rushed to the children's Specialist hospital, Centre Igboro on Princess road, Ilorin when they complained of severe abdominal pains and vomiting.

Three of the victims were reportedly pronounced dead from the food poisoning they had consumed.

Kwara family members land in hospitals as four children die of food poisoning Police Public Relations Officer, SP Ajayi Okasanmi, said that he was not aware of the incident but an official of the Kwara State Disease Surveillance Notification Officer, Alhaji Muhammad Abdullahi, confirmed the incident, adding that the two survivors had been discharged from the hospital.

He said, "When we got to the place, their father told us that five of his children ate the Amala meal but three later started vomiting before they were rushed to the Children Specialist Hospital, Ilorin.

"He said while they were battling to save the lives, another one was rushed to another hospital but the first three died.

"Their father, who is a farmer, told us he produced the yam flour (Elubo) himself and cannot say what really happened," he added.

Two similar incidents of suspected food poisoning reportedly occurred in Baruten and Kaiama local government areaS of Kwara respectively in the last two months.
