meant to kill bedbugs ended up killing them.
According to Adom News, the unfortunate incident was said to have happened last Friday which was supposed to be their birthday.

for the past years residents leaving in the area have had sleepless
night as a result of outbreak of bedbugs also known as ‘bomb’ in the
area.

invaded their homes, residents embarked on a spraying exercise to get
rid of the bedbugs.
According to Naana, the girls sprayed
her room including children’s room in the morning in a bid to get the
bedbugs out of the room and opened the doors for proper ventilation till
evening when they went back to sleep.
However, the twins who were very energetic in the evening were found unconscious on their bed the following day.

twins who took part in the just ended Basic Education Certificate
