In a shocking twist, a young man and his girlfriend reportedly died after inhaling fumes from a generating set, which was locked inside their apartment overnight in Ugborikoko community, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.
Quest Times gathered that the yet-to-be identified man had just celebrated his girlfriend’s birthday party, together at a nightclub.
The tragic incident unfolded when they both left the club and went to the lady’s shop, where they put on the generator set inside before sleeping off; they died before daybreak.
Afterwards, the lifeless bodies of the two lovers were reportedly recovered in the room by neighbours in the early hours of Monday.
The unfortunate incident was confirmed by the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bright Edafe, via a telephone chat with journalists on Tuesday.
