Trajedy struck on Tuesday at Apomu community in the Isokan Local Government Area of Osun State where seven family members were found dead in their residence.
The Nation gathered the house located in a new area of the community was occupied by a divorced woman with six children and a live-in lover identified as Saheed.
A resident, Korede, told The Nation that the remains of the seven family members were found on Tuesday morning.
He noted the sole survivor was too weak to speak on what really happened.
The Nation gathered residents fled based on the suspicion the deceased might have been killed of a chemical substance.
One of them said, “They are eight in number, father, mother and their six children but the children don’t belong to the man.
“The house belongs to a woman. The man has his own house but lives with the woman. One of the children just came back from Lagos yesterday.
“It was said that a chemical was sprayed on them because some people said they perceived the odour coming out.
“One of them did not die and was taken to a private hospital in Apomu.
“The man is a policeman, named Saheed. He stays in Apomu but he is not from Apomu. He only married the woman that owns the house that the incident occurred.”
