The possible role of the triangle mechanism in the B- decay into D*0π -π 0η and D*0π -π +π - is investigated. In this process, the triangle singularity appears from the decay of B- into D*0K-K*0 followed by the decay of K*0 into π -K+ and the fusion of the K+K- , which forms the a0(980) or f0(980) , which finally decay into π 0η or π +π - , respectively. The triangle mechanism from the K^*KK loop generates a peak around 1420 MeV in the invariant mass of π -a0 or π -f0 , and it gives sizable branching fractions, Br(B-→ D*0π - a0;a0 → π 0η )= (1.66± 0.45 )× 10-6 and Br(B-→ D*0π - f0 ; f0 → π +π -)= (2.82± 0.75)× 10-6 .
