The children are identified as Dunmola Ogunjobi, four; Aisha Taiwo four; Daniel Samuel, three; Alamat Onikoyi, four and two-year-old Romanus.

The incident, which started June last year, has created panic among dwellers while parents of the victims languish in pain.

Recent among the cases was the sudden disappearance of Ogunjobi while she was playing with her friends last Tuesday in front of her parents’ residence on Akinlolu Street, Otto.

A search was conducted with the hope that the little girl was somewhere within the vicinity. As the day wore on without any clue on her whereabouts, the neighbourhood was thrown into anxiety.

“After we looked around and couldn’t find her, we went to Iponri, Denton, Ijora
