Firstclass newsline learnt that three children of the same parents on
Saturday night died in an inferno that destroyed their three-room,
self-contained apartment in the Egbeda-Akowonjo area of Lagos State.
The inferno, said to be caused by a candle light, occurred around 10pm
at 20, Fakoya Street, Vulcaniser Bus Stop, Egbeda, Akowonjo.

Ifeoma, nine; Emeka, seven; and Udeoma, three, dead.
The Director of Lagos State Fire Service, Razak Fadipe, confirmed this
to theNews Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Sunday.
Fadipe explained that the fire broke after the father of the children
had gone to check his wife, the mother of the children, in the
hospital, where she had just given birth to their fourth child.
He added that the fire service was not called to the scene on time,
and advised people to stop the use of candle to lit their house.
"We got a distress call and when we got there, we discovered that, it
was a building that was on fire.
"The fire was caused by a candle, which was lit by their father, while
he went to see his wife and the family's new baby in the hospital," he
said.
Fadipe said the charred body of the dead children had been removed and
deposited in a mortuary by the police from Shasha Division.
