Family Of Six And Apprentice Lose Their Lives To Generator Fume Poisoning by kellynelly: 10:57am On Jul 22, 2023 |
The Anambra State Police Command has officially verified the tragic incident that occurred in Nkwele Ezunaka, Onitsha, where a family of six, along with an apprentice, lost their lives in their new residence due to inhaling poisonous fumes from a generator. The heartbreaking event took place on Wednesday. The unfortunate family consisted of a man, his wife, their two children, and the wife's mother. The man had recently surprised his wife with a new house after she gave birth to their baby. Eager to celebrate this joyous occasion, the family moved into the new home. Tragically, it turned out to be their first and last night in the new residence. According to sources in the area, during the celebration, there was a power outage, prompting the man to switch on the generator located on the verandah close to their bedroom. As the night went on, they all fell asleep, forgetting to turn off the generator. The next morning, a friend who was meant to join the celebration found the house locked and the generator still running. Alarmed by the situation, the friend called for help, and together with other neighbors, they forced their way into the house. Inside, they discovered the lifeless bodies of the family members and the apprentice. Tragically, only the four-day-old baby survived. Efforts were made to save the wife and one of the daughters, who were found unconscious and rushed to St. Charles Borromeo Hospital in Onitsha. However, despite attempts to resuscitate them, including administering oxygen, they could not be revived, and they succumbed to the poisonous fumes. The deceased man, known as Ifeanyi, was a trader at the Onitsha Bridge Head Market and hailed from Enugu State. The Manager of St. Charles Borromeo Hospital, Rev. Fr. Izunna Okonkwo, confirmed that only the newborn baby survived the tragic incident. The spokesperson for the Anambra State Police Command, Tochukwu Ikenga, stated that investigations into the cause of the tragedy are ongoing, and further details will be provided once the investigation is concluded.
