It was gathered that their parents both lawyers had gone to work when the inferno started.
 According witness, the two kids were joined by their neighbor's kids who visited them because their own parent were also out of the house.
The neighborhood who contacted the local police and men of the State Fire Service in Ikotun said the fire started from a bedroom of the house before spreading to the rooftop causing heavy balls of smoke.
