A middle-aged woman and her two children have lost their lives in a fire incident which occurred on Sunday night in Ondo State.
The fire incident happened at Rainbow Street, Onipakala Junction, off Adeyemi Road, Ondo, in Ondo West Local Government Area of the state.
A family source, speaking under anonymity, told NAN on Monday, that the victims were burnt beyond recognition in the inferno which lasted for hours.
The source said the mother was a petty trader, while the two children were identified as Bukola, aged 16 and Ife aged 11.
He also said the fire destroyed the entire building where they were trapped.
According to him, efforts by neighbours to save their lives proved abortive as the state Fire Service in the town failed to mobilise.
“When the fire was raging, we called the fire service, only to be informed that there’s no water and chemicals.
“In fact, immediately, the officer switched off his cell phone,” the source said.
CSP Funmilayo Odunlami, Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO in Ondo State, confirmed the incident to NAN on Monday through text messages.

Also, the Chief Fire Officer in Ondo State, Mr Bimbola Araroba, said he could not confirm the incident, saying only the officer in the area could confirm it.
