Three children of same parents have been found dead inside a
parked car they were playing in at Owode Elede area of Ikorodu, Lagos.
The kids identified as Oliseh, Daniel and Destiny Egba,
three, six and eight years respectively, were feared to have suffocated on
Thursday evening.
It was gathered that they had entered a parked Hyundai
Accent car with registration number BDG404CL to play at 16, Gbamire Street,
Owode Elede, and could not come out of the vehicle.
It was gathered that the children whose mother, Lorita Azibato, lived at 2, Gbamire Street, had in the course of playing strayed to the compound where the vehicle was parked.
It was however not clear how long they stayed inside the
vehicle before their bodies were discovered by some visitors of the car owner.
“No one knew they were inside the vehicle. It was some
visitors who came to see the owner while looking at the vehicle that discovered
them.
“When their bodies were brought out around 7pm, their mother
was not back from the market.
“Neighbours did not have her telephone number, so police had
to wait until she returned home around 11:30pm to break the news to her.
“Apparently, the children were not in the care of anyone
else. The person in charge of them would have looked for them before their
mother returned from the market,” said a source.
Confirming the incident, police spokesman, SP Benjamin
Hundeyin, said operatives attached to Owode Onirin received information around
7pm on Thursday that the young siblings were found inside the car lifeless.
He said detectives immediately went to the scene, secured it
for investigation and evacuated the bodies to the mortuary.
