A man said to be about forty years old has thrown two of his children from a three-storey building in Umuobe community, near Aba Main Town, for an undisclosed reason.
The man also threw himself from the same building after allegedly threatening his wife.
The innocent children, who were thrown from the top floor, miraculously survived but sustained varying degrees of injuries.
Neighbours, who were attracted by the children’s loud cries, rushed to the scene, rescued the children and took them to the hospital.
The Umuobe residents then alerted the Nigerian Police Force, leading to the immediate arrival of police officers.
On arrival, the police officers arrested the father and took him to a different hospital from where his injured children were admitted.
Some residents of the area suggested that the man’s strange action may have been caused by illicit drugs, while others claimed that he may have been possessed
