IT was a dark Wednesday for the family of Mr and Mrs Adisa of No 26A, Agala Success School, Babanla, Ibadan, as five members of the family were killed in an explosion.

Nigerian Tribune learnt that Mr Adisa, a proprietor of Ifeolu Nursery and Primary School, Oremeji, Ibadan, was re-fuelling the family’s power generating set when his wife approached him, holding a candle light.

The candle light, it was gathered, caused explosion, which ravaged the family house, leaving the parents and three children dead.

It was only Boluwatife, who was sent on an errand to buy MTN recharge card, that was left unhurt.

Sources further informed that Boluwatife could not believe herself on her return, seeing crowd gathered in front of their house.
