Tragedy struck in Asaba, the Delta state capital where a mother and her child died after inhaling fumes from a generator in their home.
The spokesperson of the Delta State Police Command, SP Bright Edafe made the revelation in a post on his X handle on Wednesday.
He wrote
‘’Generator fume is dangerous. It kills!!!
A mother and son died in Asaba two days ago while her daughter is currently receiving treatment at the hospital. What happened? while the generator was working, it started raining, so they moved the generator somewhere inside the house and continued using it. Unfortunately, they slept off and that was how they died of suspected generator emissions(carbon monoxide) and her daughter was rushed to the hospital. This is not the first time we have recorded this incident in Delta. it’s important we know, learn, and educate others”
