Earlier, four children of one family, Kelechi Chibuzor 12, Sunday Chibuzor 10, Oluomachi Chibuzor (f) 8, and Kingsley Chibuzor 3 who died along with the Ogbas had been laid to rest at their home town, Umuhu Ohuhu in Umuahia North.

They were all said to have eaten from the same barbecue meat, popularly known as suya.

Only Mrs Chinonyerem Ogba (wife) and her daughter Ijeoma survived.

The state government had ordered that autopsy be conducted on their bodies to ascertain the cause of their death.

Though the outcome is yet to be made public, there are speculations that they may have died of smoke from a generator set that was powered near their sitting room the night they passed on.

The four kids had during the recent holidays visited the Ogbas at their Umuaeze in Umuahia North when their deaths occurred.
