Generator fumes has killed a man, his wife and all his 3 children in
Ipoyewa community of Ikorodu, Lagos. The bodies of the family was
discovered by neighbours last Friday September 12th in their home. All
five suffocated to death after inhaling fumes from a generator which
they'd kept in their room. According to neighbours, 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.
When the family failed to come out late Friday morning, a neighbour
peeped through their window, saw bodies, and alerted others. They broke
down the door to discover the horror. And when I say horror, I mean
horror. The photos are really graphic so please be warned.
Residents of the community are blaming 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. See the pics after the cut.. *warning -

People need to be educated about the dangers of generator fumes..
