With our country not having constant power supply, Some many families and businesses depend on generator on daily basis but it can be deadly as we have seen families die of generator fumes. This is what happened in Ipoyewa community of Ikorodu as 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. See more pictures after the cut

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.
