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.

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.
