Tragedy struck in Badagry, Lagos, yesterday, when a three-month-old infant, Abiodun Alabi was burnt to death. The fire incident occurred at Wazobia Junction, Tako 11, when a new mother, who lives in a self contained apartment with her 10year old son and 3 month old daughter, went to a night vigil and left her 10 year old son to watch the infant.
It's alleged that before she left the apartment, she lit a candle in the apartment 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 which burnt the infant to death before help could come

Adios little one.
May your (her) soul rest in perfect peace!
That careless boy needs thorough trashing. You see the effect of movies on our teenagers? Even the mother is not left out on this.
PHCN is also to be blamed. If there wasn`t a power outage there wouldn`t be any need to lit a candle and this accident would have been averted.
Things that are happening everyday, hour, minute and second in Nigeria are so shocking! To the hearing.

I have just two questions:

1. Did the woman actually go for a vigil and,
2. Why didn't she take the kids along or is their church without the children department or no provisions where children could stay

Now, if what I am thinking is correct, then, that woman should be flogged by her husband mercilessly.

Anyway, R.I.P to the baby girl.
