According to him, the children were aged between five and seven.

He said: “I just want to let you know that honey bee sting apart from pain can kill; therefore, we are appealing to our populace to avoid bee sting by all means. I just returned from my hometown where I from condoled with a family who lost two little sweet Kids, aged seven and five years old to honey bee sting. My insides were rendered when I listened to the sad story as told to me by the tearful mom and dad and mourners. Such innocent kids teasing a beehive without the faintest idea that it was a very dangerous thing to.
