The fire caught the house when both parents of the children were at a private hospital attending to their new born baby.

The children whose ages ranged from three to 18 reportedly shouted for help from neighbours, but died before the arrival of a rescue team.

A neighbour’ of the victims said, “we only heard them shouting for help, and before we could rescue them four of them had died.

“When the fire started, the eldest of the children came out of the house shouting for help. When the fire became serious, she went back to the house to rescue her younger ones, but she could not come out alive. She was burnt together with her younger ones,” he said.
