A 10-year-old child was hospitalised after a fire razed the apartment of a Nigerian family living in Plymouth, United Kingdom, leaving the family homeless and destroying their belongings.
This is just as members of the Nigerian community in the UK are appealing for public support to enable the family, identified as the Baloguns, to recover from the incident.
PUNCH Metro learnt on Sunday from a post on X (formerly Twitter) by the former president of the NiUK community, Benjamin Kuti, that the incident reportedly left the family without access to essential items, including clothing, passports and other important documents.
According to Kuti, two other children of the Baloguns were forced to seek temporary shelter with friends.
