A family of five have reportedly died of generator fumes in the Adamo area of Ikorodu, Lagos. It was learnt that the owner of the house bought the generator newly and must have left it in the house which led to then suffocation of the couple and their three children. A resident who claimed anonymity said, “The family just got the generator. Jimoh had switched it on for his family that evening. I also observed that it worked all through the night. If you check their apartment, it has both the completed and the uncompleted sections. They lived in two rooms which were already completed.
PLEASE NOTE THE PHOTOS ARE EXTREMELY GRAPHICAL AND ONLY OPEN IT IF YOU HAVE THE MIND TO BEAR SUCH, LINKS BELOW:
“I think, when they were about to sleep, Jimoh, for the safety of the generator, might have brought it inside their room, because that was where the people met the generator when the door was forced open. Their corpses showed that they had suffocated to death. They are still lying there, you can go and check.”
On how their bodies were discovered, it was noted that a woman who wanted to go to the market with Jimoh’s wife saw them first and raised alarm. “The woman sold drinks. She was to go with Jimoh’s wife to a place on Thursday for market. When the woman didn’t hear from her, she decided to visit her at home. When she got to their apartment on Friday morning, she noticed that their door was locked. She called the phone number, and saw that it rang inside. That was how she peeped through, and saw the dead bodies. Then, she ran out and raised the alarm.”
“Nobody could move near the corpses so that we will not be implicated. The landlords have reported to the Sagamu Road Police Division, and they are making plans to get an ambulance to take the bodies away.”
