“Their bodies have been recovered and deposited at the Badagry General Hospital’s morgue for an autopsy so as to determine the actual cause of death,” the police spokesman added.

“Notwithstanding the report made to the Police, the Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has ordered a thorough and speedy investigation into the circumstances surrounding their death.”

Multiple reports suggest that the car had a child lock feature and could only be opened from outside.

The children, mostly between four and six years old, were reportedly found dead when a parent was looking for her child.
