Saturday, May 11, 2024 -On Wednesday, May 8, residents of the Osubi community in the Okpe council area of Delta State were saddened by the news of the deaths of three teenage boys. They had left a generator set running overnight in their single-room apartment, leading to the tragedy.
The deceased teenagers simply identified as Isaac, Alex
and Ese, were believed to have died from inhaling the fumes of the generator
after sleeping off.
One of the deceased, reportedly still alive when rescue
came, but was passing out excreta, later died.
The mother of one of the deceased boys is said to manage a restaurant in the
area.
A resident who spoke on the incident said the boys put the generator inside the
room over fear of thieves stealing it, adding that the room had no windows.
The Delta Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Bright Edafe, is yet to respond to a message seeking comments on the incident.
