Their joy knew no bounds when they parked to their new house last Saturday.
It
was a day they had looked forward to and they took the final decision
to move into the new apartment in Gbeganu area in Minna, Niger State
last Saturday.
Though not completed, the house was, however, habitable as the plan was to gradually complete the house as they moved in.
However,
instead of relatives and well wishers trooping to the new house to
congratulate them and “wash” it, it was the burial ceremony of the
family of three that relatives and other well wishers went for.
The
middle aged man, Seyi Adewale, a generator repairer, his wife, Felicia,
aged 23 and their three-month-old daughter, Deborah, were, Tuesday,
found dead in their room with the corpses already decomposing.
It was gathered that they died on Saturday night, the day they moved into the new house.
Vanguard
gathered that the trio, who retired to one of their rooms late in the
night to enjoy their first night in the house switched on their
generating set close to the room while the fume emitting from the set
consumed them overnight. They never woke up to see the next day.
Unknown
to other neighbours that the trio had parked in, the corpses of the
three-member family remained in the room unattended to and were
gradually decomposing.
However, the junior sister of the deceased
husband, Deborah, who had been making frantic effort to locate her
brother got more worried, Tuesday, four days after they had moved into
the new house.
It was a shocker to her after forcing the door of
the house open to meet them dead after being killed by fume from the
generator.
She immediately raised alarm which attracted other neighbours to the scene.
She said: “We last spoke on phone on Saturday night, when he was moving his property and family to the new house.
“On
Sunday, which was the second day, I also called but nobody picked. I
still tried on Monday thinking it was due to the poor network service or
run-down battery and yet no response and that was why I decided to come
down to the house only to meet my brother and family dead and
decomposing.
