Three Sisters Die In Fire Outbreak In Lagos

Three sisters were reportedly burnt to death as midnight fire ravaged some shops on Friday morning in the Mechanic Village area of Oke Afa, Isolo, Lagos.
The three sisters were aged 5, 7, and 12 years and were of the same parents. Their names were not ascertained as at the time of the incident.

Policemen from the Ejigbo Police Division were said to have removed the corpses.
