The tragic news went viral on Wednesday after Alozie posted a video on TikTok showing the remains of his sons in separate body bags.\n<\/p>\n
Speaking in a follow-up video on Thursday, Alozie, using the TikTok handle #promise.Samuel099 detailed the events leading up to the tragedy.\n<\/p>\n
He stated that he took the boys for routine immunisation on the morning of December 24, 2025.<\/p>\n

According to the father, the twins became extremely weak immediately after the injections and were unable to eat or play. Despite administering paracetamol as advised by the nurse and bathing them to calm a rising temperature, the twins reportedly died on the morning of Christmas Day, December 25.\n<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cIt happened that the immunisation was conducted on the 24th of December, in the morning. And on the morning of 25th December, they died. On that 24th, after the injection, they were very weak, and I gave them paracetamol because the nurse said that if the temperature continued, I should give them paracetamol.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI, and my wife, after we left the health centre, went home and gave the two of them paracetamol, which didn\u2019t solve anything. We even bathed them. My wife bathed them in cold water. They died on the 25th. The two of them died at the same time. And the worst part of it is that the drug weakened two of them to the extent they couldn\u2019t talk, they couldn\u2019t eat, they couldn\u2019t play as usual, like they couldn\u2019t disturb as they used to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cMy twins, my nine-month-old children, they have killed them. You can\u2019t tell me that my children, who were not sick, who were strong and sound\u2026 they are dead.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
He explained that since the twins were born, they never experienced any serious illness.

\u201cI\u2019ll just give them paracetamol, and everything will calm down. My children are strong like me,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just confused. How can I lose two children, identical twins that I have suffered so much for? Just nine months, they were not sick. Just because I decided to fulfil the righteousness of taking them for immunisation..\n<\/p>\n
\u201cOn my own, I decided that I would take them to that place, not because they are sick. From the first day I gave birth to them, I\u2019ve been taking them for immunisation.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
He noted that the nurse on duty on the day of the last immunisation was not the usual official who attended to them.\n<\/p>\n
The distressed father also rejected preliminary claims from the health centre, attributing the deaths to \u201cfood bacteria.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe nurse is talking about bacteria, food bacteria. She said that it is food bacteria that killed my children. How can food bacteria kill a child? Food that I\u2019ve been giving them from one month to nine months, the food didn\u2019t kill them. How is it possible?\u201d

While the Lagos State Ministry of Health and the Primary Health Care Board have yet to release an official statement regarding the incident or the specific findings of the autopsy, Alozie expressed deep fears that the results might be manipulated to protect the government facility.\n<\/p>\n
Describing the situation as \u201cgovernment to government,\u201d he issued a desperate plea for help.\n<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cPlease, if you\u2019re a lawyer, a human rights lawyer, please help me. I don\u2019t have a lawyer, and you know, government issue. If you don\u2019t have anybody, you will not get a better result,\u201d he cried out, citing a lack of financial resources to fight the case alone.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough the autopsy has been conducted already, I\u2019m scared. The reason I\u2019m scared is that I don\u2019t know if this government will give me the actual justice because, you know, this is government-to-government. The primary health centre is for the government, and the people who are even running the case for me are government people.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I don\u2019t have finance, I have people,\u201d he added. \u201cPeople should help me. I need justice for these children. I have buried them, but I know that their spirit is still not at peace, because they died untimely deaths.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A grieving father, Samuel Alozie, known as Promise Samuel on TikTok, has lamented the death of his nine-month-old…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27980,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[17131,17132,17133,17134,17135,17136,17137,2093,17138,122,17139,17140,17141,3701,17142,1709,17143,17144,17145],"class_list":{"0":"post-27979","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nigeria","8":"tag-ajangbadi","9":"tag-ajangbadi-primary-health-centre","10":"tag-child-mortality","11":"tag-immunisation","12":"tag-infant-death","13":"tag-infant-mortality","14":"tag-justice-for-twins","15":"tag-lagos","16":"tag-medical-negligence","17":"tag-nigeria","18":"tag-parental-grief","19":"tag-primary-health-care-centre","20":"tag-primary-health-centre","21":"tag-public-health","22":"tag-samuel-alozie","23":"tag-tiktok","24":"tag-twin-deaths","25":"tag-twins","26":"tag-vaccine-safety"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27979"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27979\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
