A man, his wife and all his 3 children have been killed by generator vapour in Ipoyewa community of Ikorodu, Lagos.

The lifeless bodies of the family
members were discovered by
neighbours on Friday, September 12 in their home. It was gathered that they suffocated to death after inhaling fumes from a generator which they had kept in their room, as they feared it could be stolen.

Some residents said that the man had bought the generator just two days before the tragic incident and for fear that it might be stolen if left outside, led to alternative of keeping it inside the room.

According to one of the residents, when the family failed to come out late Friday morning, a neighbour peeped through their window and saw motionless bodies; he immediately alerted the rest of the neighbourhood. The door to their room was subsequently broken to discover the horror.

Meanwhile, 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. They said that every house in the area uses a generator, disclosing that they have called on the government many times to help them rectify the issue of light but their plead had been futile.
