A family lost five (05) of its members in the district of Aledjo, commune of Bassila. To justify this serial death, the thesis of food poisoning is the most agitated.
In Bassila, several people were affected by a malaise whose origin is not yet determined with certainty. Among the victims, five (05) passed from life to death. According to the local media Le Parakois, eight (08) other people were hospitalized. At the latest news, six (06) of them are out of danger and have even already returned.
An investigation is open to determine the real causes of the tragedy, but in the meantime several sources evoke food poisoning. The victims would therefore have consumed an intoxicated food which triggered a carnage.
