Three children of the same parents on Saturday
night died in an inferno that destroyed their three-
room-self-contain apartment in Egbeda-Akowonjo
area of Lagos State.
The incident caused by a candle-lit occurred
around 10 p.m., at No 20, Fakoya St, . Vulcaniser
Bus Stop, Egbeda Akowonjo.
It left the three kids, identified as : Ifeoma, 9;
Emeka, 7; and Udeoma, 3 dead.
The Director of Lagos State Fire Service, Razak
Fadipe, confirmed this to the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Sunday.
Fadipe said 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 said 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 building is located at No 20, Fakoya St, .
Vulcaniser Bus Stop, Egbeda Akowonjo, a suburb
of Lagos.
“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 that the charred body of the dead
children had been removed to a mortuary by the
police from Shasha Division.
The fire service boss appealed to people in Lagos
to desist from using candle in their homes, as it
could be very dangerous.

The sale and use of candles should be banned in Nigeria cosno matter the warnings we receive, we don't heed.

My dear, do you want the poor masses to about their daily activities in the dark? Electricity is the most viable way out but in this part of the world, it is not readily available. We the poor must have a source of light in our homes. God help us!!!!

There has to be an alternative before banning stuff. Electricity is the alternative.
