26-year-old Ojowori Jeremiah, his pregnant
wife, 24-year-old Ashley Owojori, their first
son, Halley,and 7-month-old baby are the
casualties of the latest tragedy that claimed
another Nigerian family in the United States of
America.
The incident happened at the young couple’s
houese at 201 Coleman Street in West Monroe,
Louisiana around 7:30am this past Sunday.
A neighbor who escaped unharmed, informed
investigators that the structure lost electrical
power at approximately 3:30 a.m. His account
also reveals that Jeremiah Owojori had notified
a duplex maintenance worker about 6:30 a.m.
of a strange loss of electricity in his apartment.
But the neighbour who chose to be anonymous
was uncertain whether the family returned to
sleep before being discovered by firefighters.
Police investigation revealed that faulty wiring
caused the fire that wiped out the entire family.
Last week Tuesday, a Nigerian footballer
Emmanuel Omogbo lost his Nigerian parents to
an inferno in Chillum Maryland.
