A fire incident in Badagry, yesterday left a 3-month-old baby burnt to death.
The unfortunate incident happened to Abiodun Alabi, a new mother, who lives in a self contained apartment with her 10 year old son and 3 month old daughter
She went to a night vigil and left her 10 year old son to watch the infant.
According to reports, she allegedly lit a candle in the apartment for both of them before she left 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, burning the infant to death before help could come.
