Locals speculated that while the couple was charging their phone, a plug on the bed may have electrocuted them.
In Ondo State, a guy only known as Eric and his girlfriend were discovered dead in their room.
In the Ayeyemi neighbourhood of Ondo City, which is part of the Ondo West Local Government Area of the State, they were discovered dead on Saturday in the man’s flat.
Locals conjectured that the pair might have been electrocuted by a socket on the bed as they were charging their phone.
They disclosed that if the woman’s chain had come into contact with the bed’s socket when the couple was using a generating set, she might have been electrocuted.
Ayo, a local, said that when Eric’s family went to check on him after he didn’t pick up the phone, they found the lovers dead.
When they arrived at his house, they broke down the door to enter after peering through the window and discovering their dead bodies.
In a phone conversation, our correspondent received confirmation of the event from SP Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, the spokesperson for the Ondo State Police Command.
She revealed that both of the deceased’s families were aware of their connection, which lasted for almost two years.
Their body has been removed and taken to a local hospital’s mortuary.
