How could a woman have locked up her own nine months old baby all alone in a house?!

That was the case in Sapele on Wednesday when a nine-month baby was burnt to death while her mother who locked her up in the house had gone to make ends meet.

The woman was said to have gone to the market to earn a living by plaiting peoples’ hairs at Sapele yam garage while the father was also at work.

Sadly enough, the grandfather of the infant was involved in the salvaging of other parts of the building without any inkling that his grandchild was in the house burning.

It was reported that the grand-father of the infant who was alerted of the incident was later involved in salvaging other parts of the building without knowing that his grand child had been consumed by the fire.

According to the Vanguard, only bits of properties could be saved but the whole building was brought to ruins as neighbours could not put out the fire while men of Sapele Fire Fighting Service arrived late.

The source of the fire is yet unknown but sources at the Sapele Fire Fighting department, who preferred anonymity, confirmed that it was due to electrical spark from power fluctuation.
