They consist of four additional people and five of the same parents' offspring.
According to reports, the incident occurred on Monday night and resulted in the deaths of five family members at the scene before four others were taken to the hospital.
The four others later passed away at a nearby, unnamed hospital, according to sources who spoke with our correspondent.
This occurs just a few days after four family members passed away in the Kogi State community of Mopa, MopaAmuro LGA, following a weekend meal of "amala."
In contrast to the MopaAmuro death, it was not immediately known if the family had eaten anything prior to the death's arrival, but a source suspects a high likelihood of food poisoning.
The mother of the deceased victims was still receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital, according to a family source who wished to remain anonymous. The father, however, had been arrested.
As of the time this article was filed, all attempts to speak with William Aya, the public relations officer for the Kogi State Police, remained unsuccessful.
