Delta Police Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe, confirmed that a woman and her son lost their lives due to suspected generator fumes in Delta State.
Sharing the post on his X handle on Wednesday, May 8, 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.
While the generator was working, it started raining, so they moved the generator somewhere inside the house and continued using it, which poses serious safety hazards due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
“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.”
