Confirming the incident, the Chairman of the local government area, Solomon Onah, said the news had thrown the council area into the morning.
‘We saw their dead bodies early this Saturday morning. We are yet to identify the cause of the deaths but one of the victims had been taken to Enugu Metropolis for autopsy,‘ Onah said.
‘When we went to their house, we saw a locally-made charcoal stove in the room where they died, though, there was no fire on it. We cannot suspect generator fume because they did not use the generator last night. We are yet to identify the cause of the incident until we get the result of the autopsy.’
The cleric, Odo, was too shocked to speak to reporters at the time of filing this report.
