The 3year old boys Toheeb Adedokun and Tajudeen Falilu had gone missing in January while playing in front of their compound when suddenly, no one saw them again.
When all efforts to locate them proved abortive, the missing children were suspected to have been kidnapped.
Well, guess what.
The corpses of the children have been found - in an abandoned vehicle, two houses away from their parents’ home on Taike Street.
The source said after the children wandered off, they went into the vehicle and were trapped inside, causing them to suffocate.
He said, “We had searched all over for the children to no avail and assumed they were kidnapped. Even the police thought it was kidnap. Only if we had known that the children were trapped in a vehicle in the next compound, we would have saved them.”
Reliable sources told PUNCH Metro that the vehicle was a Honda Pilot Sports Utility Vehicle which the owner had used as collateral and thus abandoned it.
