CameroonOnline | In Ekiliwindi, a suburb of Kumba, Cameroon, a father and his three children tragically died from suspected food poisoning. The family had consumed a meal of Eru, a local dish, which was reported to have a suspicious smell.

The surviving son, who abstained from the meal, noted his concerns about the meal’s preparation by their mother. Despite his reservations, his father encouraged the family to eat due to their hunger.
