The entire residents of Owode Elede area of Ikorodu, Lagos State has been thrown into confusion after three siblings were discovered dead inside a parked car.

The incident happened on Gbamire Street, Owode Elede, where the children couldn’t come out of the vehicle.
The children, whose mother, Lorita Azibato, lived at 2, Gbamire Street, were said to have wandered inside the complex where the vehicle was parked while playing.
Visitors who arrived to see the car owner discovered the children, according to Nations.
“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 and so, the police had to wait until she returned home around 11:30pm to break the news to her”
