The same parents' three young children drowned in Lagos.
Recently, the incident happened in a swimming pool on the estate where they live in the Ajah region.
The children were left behind while the husband and wife left for an event.
The dead bodies of the deceased were found by locals and security officers.
They were taken to a hospital by the Chief Security Officer and others, where it was determined they had passed away.
The grieving parents were informed of their passing, and a police report was later filed at the Ajah Police Station.
When they arrived, the pair reportedly passed out but was awakened a short time later.
The girls' ages ranged from 14 to 7 to 3 years old.
On Sunday, Benjamin Hundeyin, a police officer and public relations specialist, tweeted about the incident.
Without a lifeguard present, the spokesperson recommended against swimming.
If there isn't a lifeguard on duty, don't use the pool. Never swim at a beach without competent supervision.
"People are mourning loved ones who drowned needlessly. Recently, three siblings perished in the same boat. Eldest was a young adult. Be cautious out there," he said.
