Three siblings of the same parent, a boy and two girls on Sunday, died in a car parked in their residential quarters as a result of suffocation in Ilorin, Kwara state capital.

Their mother, Shade Silifat, who had gone out to buy indomine noodles for their school meals in Monday, fainted as a result of the incident which occurred at No 8, Boluke Line, Zango-Kulende quarters in Ilorin metropolis.

The incident occurred at about 2p.m when the three children of the same parent locked themselves in the parked car borrowed by their father from his sister within the premises of their quarters.

Their mother, Shade, who discovered their foot wares outside the parked car, raised an alarm after forcing the doors of the car open.

It was gathered that  the three children were then rushed to Olutayo Clinic, very close to their residence for medical attention.

The medical director, Dr Adeyemo , however, directed that they be taken to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, where they were confirmed dead.

The three siblings were later taken to Muslim cemetery for burial according to Islamic rite.
