Misery has befallen a family in Mabale village, Budumba Sub-county in Butaleja district as thirteen children ate poisoned pancakes that have led to two of them losing their life, and 11 in hospital fighting for theirs.

According to the Daily Monitor, the children mistook a watermelon and vegetable pesticide for cooking oil as they were frying the pancakes, and the results after consuming them have been adverse.

Two children namely; Namusalo aged five and Salya aged six died shortly after eating the pancakes, and the 11, all from the same family of a one Kalimu Mulongo, are still fighting for their life after being admitted to Busolwe General Hospital in Butaleja district.

“Thirteen children from the same homestead are suspected to have taken poisonous pancakes. They mixed pesticides with cooking oil accidentally,” The Bukedi Regional Police Commander Ceasar Tusingwire said, adding that Police have launched investigations into the matter before Butaleja DPC Hassan Katumba Mugerwa said that the 11 children in hospital are improving.

Parents and guardians are always instructed to keep pesticides, medicines and other hazardous chemicals out of reach for children to avoid scenarios like these.
