Generator fumes on Saturday killed a cheating married woman who visited her lover, a man
identified by his neighbours as a policeman.The name of the policeman could not be ascertained as of press time, but his lover’s name was given as Ifeoma.
Ifeoma, a mother of five and the
policeman, a father of three, were found dead on Sunday, 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. Ifeoma However,
told her husband that she was going to attend a church vigil, but ended
up at her lover’s house, which was nearby.
A source said, “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.”
Some neighbours interviewed by our correspondent said the victims might have been killed by generator fumes.
One of them said, “There was the sound
of a small generator throughout the night in his apartment. But at about
4am, 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.”
When our correspondent arrived at the
scene of the incident at about 10am on Sunday, sympathisers gathered in
clusters at the gate of the three-storeyed building, discussing the
incident.
The building, it was gathered, belonged to the younger brother of the deceased policeman.
After a long wait by residents, who
wanted to catch a glimpse of the dead bodies, security men, comprising
local vigilantes, the police and men of the NSCDC, arrived at the scene
and dispersed the crowd.
The security operatives later took away the corpses in an ambulance.
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.”
