It was wailing and shouting Sunday night when tragedy struck at Okpuno, a community in Awka South local government area when unknown fire razed about 30 bedroom bungalow inhibited mostly by artisans, burning two children to death.

Odogwublog.com gathered exclusively that the fire started when the public power supply brought light after two weeks without electricity supply to the zone whereas other sources said it started from a candle light forgotten by one of the tenants.
The fire incident which started about 10 pm had fire service men arrive by 10 :45 pm but before their arrival fire had gutted the 30 rooms beyond recognition, burning the two kids identified as Onyebuchi and Ebuka below one year and 2 years respectively.
The fire destroyed property worth several millions of naira including 6 Generators, Motorcycles and other house hold equipment, eliciting wailing and mourning by onlookers and victims.
The mother of Ebuka and Onyebuchi , the two victims  who wept uncontrollable was said to be selling at her kiosk store in front of the building when the fire started but her efforts to dash in to save her children proved abortive sequel to heavy smoke emitting from the rooms.
Their father was not in Awka when the incident happened but the wife the breadwinner was busy at the kiosk. She was admitted to a nearby hospital after collapsing on the death of her 2 male children out of five children she has. 
An eye witness, Udonna Anigbo told odogwublog.com that  it was indeed a pitiful sight as the occupants lost all they had during the inferno and appealed to good hearted individuals to come to their aid. He said people immediately started contributing money this morning to assist the villagers who volunteered to transport the corpses of their children home before other issues would be looked into.
He commended the little effort of the fire service men as according to him they were timely but inaccessible routes to the building prevented them from timely execution of their duties but said without the fire fighters the fire could have spread to other compounds at the back of the razed house.  
The man who inherited the house from one late Mr Ezeh according to sources  was speechless and could not speak to anybody before his kinsmen took him away to avoid any regrettable act. He was sorrowful.
