A mother and her 5 month old daughter has been announced dead after inhaling the smoke of a generator overnight, while the husband is now hospitalised. The family was said to have gotten the generator on a Monday and they met their unexpected death on the Friday of the same week.
The deceased, identified as Tawa, and her husband were staffers of the Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Owo. Doctors at the hospital are battling to save the life of the husband currently in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, ICU.
The deceased was said to have called her elder sister on Thursday evening, saying that her baby was sick and that she would be bringing the baby to her. When the deceased’s sister got to her sister’s place of work at about 1pm, she was told that neither she nor the husband were at work.
The deceased’s elder sister and the couple’s co-workers reportedly went to their house and met the door locked. They had to break in; then found them lying unconscious, while the baby was dead.
They were later rushed to the FMC, where the wife later died, while the husband is said to be in a critical condition.
