Tragedy struck in Badagry, Lagos, yesterday, when a three-month-old
infant, Abiodun Alabi was burnt to death. The fire incident occurred at
Wazobia Junction, Tako 11, when a new mother, who lives in a self
contained apartment with her 10year old son and 3 month old daughter,
went to a night vigil and left her 10 year old son to watch the infant.
It's alleged that before she left the apartment, she lit a candle in the
apartment because there was no electricity. Her husband wasn't home at
this time because he travelled a lot as a transporter.
The 10 year old boy left both his younger sister and the candle at home
and headed for a neighbour’s apartment to watch television and
eventually passed the night with them.
Unfortunately the candle burnt out completely which led to a
fire outbreak that consumed the entire apartment which burnt the infant
to death before help could come.
