Police investigations showed that they were choked with the carbon-monoxide from the generator set inside the shop, Guardian Nigeria said.
The neighbour said:
“This is not the first time they are using this generator though it is quite new. The generator supplies light to the whole house and we usually put it on when there is no power, which is almost every day. More investigations should be carried out because we are suspecting there is more to this than meets the eye. How can two whole human beings just go like that in one day? We need more light on this.”
