According to other neighbours, Blessing did not sound the alarm because she was afraid of receiving a beating for coming to the area.
According to reports, a mob attacked the landlord and thrashed him until police arrived to save him.
SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, verified the event and stated that the Officer in Charge (O/C) Police Family Support Unit (FSU) received a distress call from unidentified callers regarding a possible Sudden and Unnatural Death (SUD) caused by the suffocation of young children.
He claimed that a police team and FSU officials arrived on the location and encountered a crowd encircling a man named Moses’ home in Ikorodu.
“The father of the deceased children said he was from Izii community in Ebonyi State and a tenant at the aforementioned address. The children were playing with their cousin, one Blessing Hyacinth, a girl of about 11 years, a foster daughter to Mr Osondu, at about 11am inside the landlord’s RAV4 SUV parked in a fenced and gated compound,” the PPRO stated.
“One of them inadvertently pressed the central lock button of the vehicle and it ended up locking the trio till they got suffocated. The three children were taken to the Ikorodu General Hospital where they were confirmed dead by medics and their corpses deposited at the hospital’s mortuary for autopsy in the presence of their father.”
“The landlord was brought to the station for protective custody and the RAV4 SUV was taken to the station for safekeeping too,” he stated.
On Wednesday, May 24, 2023, Don-prof Kesh, an Ebonyi State resident, uploaded a picture of the girl in a Facebook post in which he expressed his sorrow.
