A police officer and his family reportedly died after eating a dish of jute soup, (and known among the Yoruba of Southwest Nigeria as ewedu and called rama in Southern Kaduna), before going to bed in Dushai village, Kaura LGA of Kaduna State.
The family of five, including an unborn baby, as well as two dogs, perished. The dead were identified as ex-police inspector, Peter Dauda, 43, his expectant 35-year-old wife, Dorothy, nine-year-old son, Godwin and six-year-old daughter, Patience.
Narrating the sad incident, President of Dushai Community Development Association, Mr. Daniel Duniya Bosan said, “The family had prepared and eaten the jute leaves in the evening of Wednesday, September 6, 2017 and went to bed without any problem.
