and what about the parents that didnt look for their kids for 8 hrs, they should not be questioned too abi?

juwoonn:
I love your analysis... but do you know that 8 children locked in a car will die ten times faster than one child locked in the car...the oxygen level will be too low and they’d be competing for that little oxygen... it’d be quick

Buzx:


Have you ever stayed in a car that has been under the sun for hours with windows and doors locked?

Originalsly:


If the children can enter the car it means the car was unlocked. If the child lock was on it means the back doors of the car cannot be opened from the inside. If the children know to open the door from the outside it means they know how to open it from the inside. If they somehow didn't know .... they will know to blow the horn. If they don't know to blow the horn they would pound on the windows to attract attention since the was in the front yard. In these times children are smarter than you think at figuring out such stuff. Children dying in locked cars under the sun happens all the time... but 8 of them? This is no accident.... it is homicide.

dasparrow:
How come the owner of the car did not lock her car after she parked it? No one to protect the Nigerian child. People make children they cannot take care of. How unfortunate! May the little ones rest in the bosom of Elohim God Almighty.

Qurungu:


I agree with you, and I have another question to add: “how does a person die by just sitting in a car”?

My theory: It is likely that a yet to be known external force acted on the kids OR that the car is contaminated with some kind of lethal poisonous substance which the kids may have inhaled or ingested, maybe rat poison, or sniper used to protect the car from rats or other rodents.

All said, just sitting inside a car cannot kill a person.

Qurungu:


It can be very uncomfortable, but how sure are you of the weather conditions that day?

Terrible things are happening in Lagos, Don't loose guard

But child lock only affects the back doors, the front doors don’t have child lock protection

Qurungu:


If children can enter the car, they will also likely play with the steering wheel. If they play with the steering wheel, they will likely try to open the front door as soon as they feel trapped.
I feel there may have been a 3rd and unknown actor who took advantage of the circumstance or that they may have inhaled or ingested a poisonous substance used in the car.

As per the asphyxia explanation, I’m not sure I lean towards it because a bad car will not be air tight. Most cars aren’t.

It is also possible that with the constant sunlight, dangerous fumes were released in the car.

Qurungu:


It can be very uncomfortable, but how sure are you of the weather conditions that day?

goodluck813:
Poor parenting is increasing day by day (negligence)

POLYGAMY:
THERE’S MORE TO THIS NEWS, THE SALIAT WOMAN SHOULD TELL US WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KIDS

ba7man:
You're thinking like those illiterate jungle justice mobs that lynch innocent people for stupid reasons.

SportsHD:

I think they couldn't figure out how to disable the child lock.

christejames:
This is sad...

What sort of negligence is that?

How will eight children open a parked car and cramp themselves in the car and then go ahead to lock themselves just to play inside? They need to do more investigation.

RIP to the dead.

Franking:


How can I be thankful for being in Nigeria where roads are terrible, no electricity, law and order are discarded, u can actually throw filth anywhere u like, bribery and corruption are the norm, chaos reign supreme, etc. A bird born in a cage will actually think that freedom and flying are a disease.
