Tragedy struck in Bayelsa State in the wee hours of
yesterday when generator fumes killed a mother and five of her children. Fve
children of Mr. Celestine Onwudili and his wife, Chinyere, were found dead in
their house located at Azikoro village road by neighbours yesterday morning.
Bayelsa State has been in total black out since May
18 when, during a downpour, a tree fell and destroyed the 33KVA transmitter
transmitting electricity to the state from the Ahoada-Owerri axis of the
Transmission Power Station.
According to Daily Sun, the Onwudili family because
of the harsh weather condition had moved their generator into the house and put
it on while they were asleep.
Yesterday morning neighbours became apprehensive
when they had expected Mrs Onwudili, a major supplier of sachet water to come
out of the house but the door was firmly locked.
Some neighbours, who peeped into the house, saw the
eight occupants of the building foaming in the mouth and immediately broke the
door to gain access into the house.
By the time they were rushed to the Federal Medical
Centre (FMC), Yenagoa, Mrs Onwudili and five of her children were confirmed
dead, while two members of the family, the second son and the housemaid were
still in critical condition at the emergency ward of the hospital.
Mr. Onwudili, a staff member of Guaranty Trust Bank
(GTB), Port Harcourt, who had come to Yenagoa to celebrate the Democracy Day
with the family, was in tears at the FMC mortuary where the bodies had been
deposited.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Alex
Akhigbe who confirmed the incident said preliminary investigation indicated
that it was generator fumes that killed them.
Meanwhile, 16 people including students of the Niger
Delta University were feared dead in a ghastly motor accident along the
Amassoma Road on Tuesday night.
An eyewitness, Mr. Enaikonzigha Fungbe said the two
Toyota buses involved in the accident with registration number Rivers KNM141XA
and Rivers XB269KPR had a head-on collision.
According to him five people who sat in front of one
of the buses died on the spot, while a pregnant woman escaped unhurt.
