Baby burnt in Store
A baby of about one year and five months named Feudjio Miranda was burnt to death in the store of her mother in Babebga, Bikoko. The mother, Kengne Balbine had a store which was next door to where she stayed. The mother, who was suffering from some decree of burns on trying to save her baby, recounted to Cameroon Tribune that she got up at about 5:30 am on Monday July 27 to serve a customer. “I never knew my baby had also woken and followed me to the store”, she said. She added that since there was no electricity in the store, she used a lamp to serve the customer. She said she went back to her room to put on her cloth, because that morning she just had a loin tired on her chest and on coming back to the store, the store had caught flames and she started shouting and calling for help. Then she thought of her baby and ran back to the room to carry her baby but could not find her. Just to realise the baby was in the store and fire already caught her. She jumped into the flames to save her baby but it was too late and fire also got her but she was rescued by people who came out to put off the flames. She said her store was worth FCFA 400,000 and she had just bought goods and stocked three days before the incident. Everything was burnt to ashes. They could only carryout some washing soaps which were all burnt and looked like charcoal. She lamented she is now taking refuge in the home of her elder brother. She added that it is thanks to the population which turned out to put off the fire that it did not extend to her house or that of the neighbours. She said her baby was buried on the same day.
Her neighbours said she sells petrol and they are certain it is the cause of the fire in the store. She said her pain is her baby who died in pains. She has five other children who are on holidays and the late child was the sixth.
