Two Young siblings, Jelad Oluwaranakinse, aged five, and his brother, Jenson, aged three, were burnt to death in a fire that engulfed their apartment in the Oluwatuyi area of Akure, Ondo State, on Wednesday.

According to eyewitnesses, the children were allegedly locked inside their home by their mother, Mrs Deborah Oluwaranakinse, who had stepped out to buy food.

Tragically, the fire broke out in her absence, reducing the apartment to ashes and claiming the lives of the two boys.

“When the fire started, the neighbours around made efforts to put it out and rescue the kids, but their efforts were unsuccessful,” an eyewitness recounted.

“People called the state fire service, but by the time they arrived, things had gone out of hand. The kids had died.”

Another witness said the fire erupted suddenly, with no clear cause identified at the time of reporting.

Despite desperate attempts by neighbours to extinguish the flames and save the children, the inferno proved relentless.

The charred remains of the children were later evacuated and deposited at the morgue of the University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital in Akure.

Confirming the tragic incident on Thursday, Ondo State Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Funmilayo Odunlami, said investigations were underway to determine the cause of the fire.

“The two male children left in the room were choked and burnt. One is Jelad Oluwaranakinse, aged five, and the second is Jenson Oluwaranakinse, aged three.

“Their mother, one Mrs Deborah Oluwaranakinse, locked the two children inside their room and went out to search for food. An investigation has commenced,” the PPRO Stated.

Have you been choked by fumes before as a kid?

The kids are aged 5 and 3years!

RIP to them. Nobody is talking the spiritual side.

The father who did harder harder to produce these kids will be more pained

That's the problem with being over protective and fooolishly suspicious of your neighbors
I when we were young, If mum had to go out and will take some time, she would rather take myself and my two siblings to stay with our neighbors........than lock us in
These days parents don't want their children to play with peers cos they feel superior or more important than their neighbors.. nonsense

May their soul rest in peace.

Your perspective. It shows she probably has less rapport with the neighbors.
Telling the neighbors, my children are the only ones at home please, is okay.
In all, we cannot be perfect enough for disaster when it comes knocking. God should shield us.

Witches and wizards can send 🔥 fire to kill innocent children just to cause pains to their parents, but they cannot send 🔥🥵 fire to the wicked politicians that have reduced them to UNTOLD suffering's and Hunger in the land.

Rest in Peace to the Little Children.
