Three siblings of the same parent, a boy and two girls on Sunday, died in a car parked in their residential quarters as a result of suffocation in Ilorin, Kwara state capital.
The mother of the kids, Shade Silifat, who had gone out to buy indomine noodles for their school meals, fainted as a result of the incident which occurred at No 8, Boluke Line, Zango-Kulende quarters in Ilorin metropolis.
The incident occurred at about 2p.m when the three locked themselves in the parked car which was borrowed by their father from his sister within the premises of their quarters.
Their mother, Shade, who discovered their footwears outside the parked car, raised an alarm after forcing the doors of the car open.
It was gathered that the three children were then rushed to Olutayo Clinic, very close to their residence for medical attention.
The medical director of the medical facility, Dr Adeyemo , however, directed that they be taken to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, where they were confirmed dead.
The three siblings were later taken to Muslim cemetery for burial according to Islamic rite.
