Three siblings, a boy and two girls, have been laid to rest after they died of suffocation inside a car parked in their residential quarters in Ilorin, Kwara State.
The incident occurred at about
2pm on Sunday, February 25, 2024, at Sango-Kulende quarters, Ilorin, when the
children locked themselves in the stationary car, said to have been borrowed by
their father from his sister.
It was gathered that the mother
of the children, who had gone out to buy something, returned to find them
inside the locked car.
She raised an alarm and forced
the doors of the car open, after discovering the footwears of her children
outside the parked car.
An eyewitness said that the
three children were rushed to Olutayo Clinic, very close to their residence for
medical attention.
The medical director, Dr
Adeyemo, however, directed that they be taken to the University of Ilorin
Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, where they were confirmed dead
"The three siblings were
later taken to Muslim cemetery for burial according to Islamic rites,” the
eyewitness stated.
