However, unlike the MopaAmuro death, it was not immediately clear if the family ate any food before death started its visit, but high possibility of food poisoning is being suspected according to a source.

The aforementioned publication reported that a family source who pleaded anonymity said the father of the deceased victims had been arrested, while the mother was still receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.

He said they are yet to know the actual cause of the deaths as they are suspecting food poisoning or a spiritual attack.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, William Ovye Aya confirmed the incident to correspondents in Lokoja via telephone.

According to him, the State Police Command is working hard to unravel the cause of the death, saying an investigation is ongoing.
