Three children of the same parents reportedly died in an inferno that destroyed the top floor of a two-storey building at Jankande Estate, Mile 2, Lagos, at about 10p.m., Tuesday night.
The children, identified as Ayomide, 10; Kemi, 7; and Darasimi, 8 months, were burnt to death before men of the fire service could rescue them.
Vanguard gathered that the inferno was caused by a candle lit by the mother of the children, after they returned from church.
The burning candle was said to have fallen on some items in the apartment, causing the fire that gutted their flat and consumed the children, who were sleeping.
It was learned that the mother of the children was in her shop, a few metres away from the house, while their father was downstairs.
