It was gathered that the deceased, Albert Ndenemenu, a commercial motorcycle operator and his three children started vomiting blood shortly after eating rice prepared by his wife, Nwanne.
"When residents of the village rushed into their compound following her alarm, it was discovered that they were already dead." said a resident, who spoke to Daily Trust.
"The woman, on seeing the lifeless bodies of her husband and children, collapsed and was taken to Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, NAUTH, Nnewi where she too died," the source added.
There had been conflicting reports as to the likely cause of death since the incident happened.
While food poisoning was suspected, others linked the calamity to the handiwork of fetish relations of the diseased family.
