The incident occurred at No. 8, Boluke Line, Zango-Kulende quarters in the Ilorin East local government area of Kwara State on Sunday.
It is gathered that the incident occurred at about 2 p.m. when the three children of the same parent were playing inside the car and mistakenly locked themselves in the parked car.
The car, it was gathered, was borrowed by their father from his sister within the same premises of their quarters for quick domestic use.

Their mother, Shade, who returned from where she went to buy noodles and discovered their foot wares outside the parked car, raised an alarm after forcing the doors of the car open.
She reportedly, fainted when she met the three children motionless as a result of suffocation inside the car.
