A man, his junior wife, two children and a
visiting uncle, were found dead at their home
at Isale-Oyo community in Atiba Local
Government of Oyo State on Wednesday
September 14th.
According to residents of the community, the
junior wife had just completed the house
which she bought when it was under
construction. They moved into the building
on Tuesday September 14th in preparation
for the house warming which was slated for
Wednesday when they died.
Neighbours and relations besieged the
residence of the deceased family as early as
7a.m. in the morning to felicitate with them
on the event but were surprised that despite
repeated knocks on the door, nobody came
out to attend to them.
All efforts to gain entry into the house was
unsuccessful, as both the door and windows
were locked.
A neighbor who spoke on condition of
anonymity told The Nation that the incident
happened like a movie
“They could not belief what they saw.
It was indeed agonising and pathetic.
The family of five were found dead.
This is unbelievable. It is like watching
a movie. The deceased father
yesterday (Tuesday) played with the
children around and greeted their
parents in their respective homes for
the Eid-El-Kabir celebration. How
come he and his family members were
found dead at the same time?”.
Confirming the incident, the Divisional Police
Officer at Atiba Police Station, Sadiq Maye,
said contrary to insinuations, the deceased
died of generator fumes, which they inhaled
while asleep and that their bodies had been
deposited at the State Hospital mortuary,
Oyo.
