There was a tragedy in Imo State on Monday as no fewer than ten
traditional wedding guests died of fume from a generator and twenty
others hospitalised.
The incident happened at Umuomumu Mbieri in the Mbaitoli Local
Government Area of the state.
A community source told our correspondent that the wedding
guests from Anambra State decided to pass the night at their
in-law’s house after the ceremony.
It was the fume from the generator which ran through the night
until morning that killed them, our correspondent was told.
The State Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Ladodo, who confirmed
the development to our correspondent said, “the generator was on in
the kitchen while the doors and widows of the rooms the guests
slept were locked.”
“It is a case of sudden and natural death but we have commenced
an investigation. Assistance is being rendered to the
survivors.”
The victims and survivors were taken to Ikeduru General
Hospital.
Our correspondent was not allowed to speak to the hospital
management.
