MAN, WIFE AND CHILDREN KILLED BY GENERATOR FUMES

A man, wife and 3 children were killed by generator fumes in Ipoyewa community of Ikorodu, Lagos. The bodies were discovered by neighbours last Friday September 12th in their home. All five suffocated to death after inhaling fumes from a generator which they had kept in the bedroom. Neighbours reported that the man bought the generator just two days before the unfortunate incident and was afraid it will be stolen if left outside so he kept it inside his 2-room apartment.


The following day the neighbours observed that the members of the family were indoors the whole day so one of them peeped through their window, saw bodies, and alerted others. They broke down the door to discover the horror. What they saw was unbelievable and horrific.


Residents of the community blamed the family’s deaths on lack of power in the area. They claim the last time they had light was 3 years ago, that every house in the area uses a generator. They said they have called on the government many times to help them with light but their efforts have yielded no fruit. Don’t try this at Home.
