Generator Fume Kills Married Policeman And His Married Lover and a Mum-of-5

On Saturday, a married policeman and his lover, another married woman Ifeoma, were killed by generator fumes in Anambra State.

Punch reports that Ifeoma, a mother of 5, who is suspected to be a member of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and the policeman, a father of 3, were found dead in an apartment at Ezinifite Okpuno, Awka-South Local Government Area of Anambra State.

It was gathered that the policeman’s family lived in Lagos, while his lover’s family stayed in Awka.

According to information gathered, Ifeoma told her husband that she was going to attend a church vigil, but ended up at her lover’s house, which was nearby.

“The woman spent the night with her police lover until a labourer, who was to work for the policeman, came in the morning and discovered their dead bodies.

“The labourer then rushed out and alerted neighbours.

“The neighbours followed him to confirm the incident, before a relative intervened and locked the gate, preventing people from further going inside the apartment,” a source narrated.

Some neighbours interviewed also stated that the victims might have been killed by generator fumes.

“There was the sound of a small generator throughout the night in his apartment. But at about 4 am, it went dead; maybe the fuel got finished.

“The policeman lived on the third floor of the house. As a policeman, he hardly stayed around, but each time he was around, everybody would know, because he would run his generator all through the night. Everybody called him ‘Officer’, but I think he was an inspector,” a neighbour said.

When contacted on the development, the state Police Public Relations Office, ASP Nkeiru Nwode, said, “With due respect, the man in question is not a member of the Nigeria Police Force and the woman’s identity is yet to be ascertained.

“I have not yet been fully briefed on the story. As soon as I get the details, I will communicate with you, please.”

The name of the policeman could not be ascertained as of press time.
