The nine and 11-year-old siblings met their untimely death during the downpour on Tuesday morning.
Mother of the deceased whose name was given as Sister Ama narrated that they were indoors when the water demolished their single self-contained.
The gushing flood water washed her three children away as part of the building collapsed.
