The siblings were said to have mistakenly locked themselves in the car parked in their compound when their mother was not around.

It was gathered that their mother, Shade Silifat, went out to buy noodles for them to prepare for Monday morning school meals when the incident occurred.
Before she returned around 2 pm, the children had locked themselves in the parked car and suffocated to death.
Meanwhile, the three siblings were later taken to a Muslim cemetery for burial according to Islamic rites.
Efforts to get the Kwara Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ejire Toun, to confirm the incident proved abortive as there was no response to calls and text messages to her phone at the time of filing this report.
