In a tragic incident in the Umuagwu area of Asaba, Delta State, a middle-aged woman and her son were discovered dead in their apartment, purportedly due to suspected generator fumes.
The grim discovery also revealed two other individuals unconscious in the same residence.
The sister of the deceased, Ms. Maureen, has refuted rumors circulating within the community, dismissing claims that the deaths were caused by either generator fumes or poisoning from consuming noodles. She asserted that the cause of her sister and nephew’s demise remains shrouded in mystery.
In response to inquiries, Mr. Bright Edafe, the Police Public Relations Officer of the state Command, maintained that the available information suggests that the victims succumbed to generator fumes. However, he urged the family to come forward with any alternative information they might possess and directed them to approach the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) at A Division.
The tragic incident has left the community in shock and mourning, with investigations ongoing to ascertain the true cause of the deaths.
