Four children have been burnt to death in Amasaman, a suburb in Accra after their mother locked them up to attend an all-night service.
The sad incident happened on Wednesday, 28th October 2020 dawn at Fise a town near Amasaman in the Ga North Municipality in the Greater Accra Region.
The blaze broke out in a four-bedroom house they were sleeping in killing them.
The mother, name given as Prophetess Adelaide Nkrumah of Yahweh Revelation Sabbath Ministry, locked them up in a room to attend a half-night prayer meeting with her last born.
According to the report, the lady has five children and when she was going to the church service she took along with her the last born leaving the four in the locked room.
The bodies of the children, two boys, and two girls have been deposited at the police hospital mortuary.
