A fire outbreak has killed a minor and seriously injured his two other siblings in Kaduna state. It was gathered that the parents of the children were not at home when the fire razed their house.

The fire, which started around 10 p.m. on Sunday night, gutted the family house located at Danbushiya community of Kaduna metropolis.

The cause of the fire outbreak remains sketchy as residents only said they saw smoke coming out of the house. A resident Malam Ibrahim said all efforts to rescue the child that died failed.

“The boy that died was a minor while his two siblings, a boy and a girl, were seriously injured and rushed to Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital.

“We tried our best to break the door since their parents were not at home at the time of the fire incident, but we couldn’t enter because the door was locked.

Fortunately, the two siblings were rescued through the window,” he said.

It was further gathered that the parents who later returned fainted out of shock and were rushed to a hospital that night.
