3 month old baby gets burnt to death in Badagry

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.

how can a responsible mother abandon her little child for a 10-year old, all in the name of a vigil?
God cannot be mocked. Whatsoever a man sows, that he shall reap. If anyone sows carelessness/foolishness, he shall reap a catasrophe of this nature.
Wisdom is a principal thing. Wisdom is profitable to direct. With all our getting, let's get wisdom.

The woman is evil. You leave a 3month old in care of a 10year old and go for a vigil?! She went to see a lover, I'm sure. Seeing that her transporter husband was out of town, she went on an adulterous assignation. If it was vigil, she'd have gone with her kids. May GOD forgive her.

Is a ten year old mature enough to watch an infant. How can she live a child with another child.

What kind of vigil rejets the presence of children? Abi this woman has been cursed how could she leave her kids @ home all alone, the woman needs to face the law for negligence and the husband should send her packing too cos she is not ready for motherly duties, so painful an innocent soul was lost

If it were abroad, the mother will be arrested and sentenced for negligence. The 10 year old boy will also be taken off her. Who leaves an infant with a 10 year old to go for Night Vigil. NigeriA's problem is beyond the government, everyone needs an education at least up to age 16.

cathy_sleeky said...

oh my God! This is sad.

sweetie said...

She's a wicked mother,I can never believe she went to church. Is children not allow in night vigil? She went to sleep in another man house. Her hubby must giv her beating of life and she deserve life in prison. How can 10years take care of 3months? Adult taking care of 3months is like doing night vigil wit headache. Some women ar not meant to b call mother.

ASAMPOKOTO said...

They need to start dealing with parents who live kids under 16 at home alone. It has got to stop. Putting sooo much responsibility on children to take care of their own siblings. What kind of night vigil was worth this?
A lot of NIGERIAN parents have gotten it wrong and need to restructure their mindset when it comes to raising kids. Don't have them if you can't afford them or your schedule doesn't permit. Simple. That 10yr Old is also a kid. I don't see why he has to be taking care of another kid when he's a kid himself.

SOME GROUP OF AFRICANS ARE FRUSTRATED CHRISTIANS ,

WHO THINK WITHOUT OVERNIGHT VIGIL , GOD WOULD NOT HEAR THEIR PRAYER.

THIS IS RUBBISH , BECAUSE YOUR JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE IS IN YOUR OWN HAND ,

GOD CAN ONLY GIVE YOU SUPPORT IF YOU DESERVE IT ,

SO YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR REWARD.

NEXT TIME YOU WILL STOP HUNTING FOR SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

PEOPLE ARE SO IGNORANT, THEY KEEP ON LOOKING FOR EASY MIRACLE,

THINKING THEY DO NOT NEED TO WORK FOR ANYTHING, AS FAR AS I GO TO NIGHT VIGIL

Are we really sure she went for vigil Hmmmmmm the husband is a transporter that is not always around that means the woman is free like a bird to go around with other men abi. what kind of a vigil will a woman go to without her children.

What kind of stupid vigil is that? She didn't go to any night vigil, God just exposed her with this tragic incident. How can you leave a 3month old baby at home.

Omg! So what abt d mother? Hope she's chilling at kirikiri now?

Anonymous said...

The truth about this news.
1. She was 2+
2. Mother left the kids in the hands of the neighbour because she didn't have enough money at that night to take the kids to the vigil.
3. The 10yrs old boy lite a candle when he went to lay her sister in the room.
4. He slept off in the neighbour's apartment while he locked the sister in the room.
5. Baby was not burnt. She died of fumes because she couldn't escape the fire.
6. Only the mattress she slept on got burnt because she stood up from the mattress when the fire caught the mattress but was unable to escape.

How did I know this?
The mother is my aunt. I want there first hand when we got the news around 5am. The girl's name is queen. And I still carried her in my hands 7days before the incident.

I still blame my aunt majorly because if she didn't use a candle in the presence of the kids; the boy wouldn't have used it. It was careless but she was a good mother that single handedly catered for her 4 kids all by herself. Mother and 10years old son are still grieving this incident. It was avoidable but it happened. I love my cousin because she was a wonderful little girl loved by all of us. May her soul rest in peace.
