Generator fumes have reportedly killed two brothers in
Tafawa Balewa local government area of Bauchi State.
The
victims, Salmanu Adamu, 27 and Suleimanu Adamu, 29, who are sons of a
traditional ruler known as Adamu Sarkin Dimsini, died inside the well in the
family compound.
The
brothers were instructed by their father to clean the well with the aid of a
generator pumping machine.
The
deceased brothers took the generator inside the well to pump out the dirty
water when tragedy struck.
Their
father, Adamu, it was learned, became suspicious when his sons did not come out
of the well after some hours.
It
was later discovered that the brothers suffocated to death due to emission of
carbon monoxide from the generator, which filled the well.
Confirming
the incident, the State Police Public Relation Officer, DSP Haruna Mohammed,
said Police detectives attached to Bununu Division visited the scene of the
incident and evacuated the victims to the hospital for autopsy.
They
were released to relatives for burial according to Islamic rites.
