A police sergeant, her daughter and grandchild, have died as a result of
generator fumes at their home in Olorisaoko Compound, Osogbo, Osun
State. According to reports, the police sergeant identified as Mary
Samuel and her kids were found dead in the early hours of yesterday
November 29th. The deceased kept a generator in her kitchen. She was
found dead with a torch in her hand when security men gained access to
her apartment. It is believed that she must have slumped while heading
towards the direction of the kitchen, where a generator was
kept. Thankfully, her eldest daughter, Jumoke, who was in the apartment
as well, was revived at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology
Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, before she was transferred to the Obafemi
Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife for further treatment.A
neighbour of the deceased said“Someone from the next flat to hers had
gone to Mrs Samuel’s apartment to ask for money for electricity. But
when she got to the door, it was locked and the cry of one of her
grandchildren could be heard. The person that went there became worried
that no one was attending to the crying baby and she alerted others in
the neighbourhood. The entrance door to the apartment was later broken
and people went in.“Samuel was found almost naked and she was confirmed
dead at LAUTECH. Two others were dead too. But Jumoke, the eldest
daughter of the deceased, who came around with her two children last
weekend, was revived at LAUTECH and has been rushed to the OAUTH,
Ile-Ife. The only person not affected by the fumes was a four-month-old
granddaughter of the deceased. She was taken away by neighbours as the
corpses of the others were being evacuated.”There remains have been
deposited in the morgue.Generator fumes kill police sergeant and her two children in Osogbo
