Traders and shop-owners in a mechanic village in the Isolo area of Lagos State, South-west Nigeria, are now counting their losses after a midnight fire that ravaged some shops there, resulting in the death of three sisters.

The three children – aged five, seven, and twelve, were reportedly left in one of the shops by their guardian before the fire incident.

Their corpses are said to have since been removed by Policemen from the Ejigbo Division.

Another fire incident was also reported to have happened on Toyin street in Ikeja, destroying five lock-up shops and a part of Divine International Hotel, but no life was lost in the incident.
