Residents of the Osubi village in Delta state’s Okpe council area went into mourning on Wednesday, May 8, after learning of the deaths of three adolescent boys who left a generator set turned on in their single-room flat overnight.
The deceased youths, simply identified as Isaac, Alex, and Ese, were thought to have died from inhaling the generator fumes 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.
