Two others were discovered unconscious at the scene. The tragic event has sent shockwaves through the community, with rumors circulating about the cause of death.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Bright Edafe, in his social media post and reported by GWG.ng following the incident claimed that the initial investigation suggested generator fumes as the likely cause of death and cautioned households against sleeping with generators inside their living apartments.

She emphatically stated, “The rumor that they died from eating noodles or generator fumes is a lie,” the Delta lady said in disputing the cause of death of her beloved family members. The family is thus seeking answers and justice for their loved ones
