Wall Gecko Allegedly Wipes Out Family Of 6

Most homes have a wall lizard or gecko, which is not poisonous at all. It only counts the number of bugs. The heloderma, which is also called the gila monster and the beaded lizard, is the only poisonous lizard in the world. Near the Gila river in the south-western United States, there are a lot of them.

There are various forms of myth surrounding wall gecko and how poisonous it can be with most African countries having spiritual notion about it.

A large neighborhood in Ogun State is in mourning after a family of six was found dead in the early morning hours of today.

Wall gecko is said to have walked on food, which is thought to have caused death.

Mr. Adeleke John Samuel, a chartered accountant, his wife, two of their children, and two other relatives have been named as the people who died.

A source told The Eagle that they probably kicked the deer after eating food that a wall gecko had stepped on.

The sad thing was found out when their gatekeeper, Mr. Lawal Ojo, noticed that the house was unusually quiet at full break of day.

He told his neighbors, who broke into the house and found the victims’ bodies in different rooms.

The source said that they were all in the position of sleeping, which means that they probably died while they were sleeping.

Mrs. Ifenatuora Ijeoma, who saw what happened, said that the poison might have been eaten at the family dinner the night before.

She said again that one of the neighbors looked closely at the kitchen tools and found a dead wall gecko inside a pot of soup.

The Eagle says that the small, scaly Wall Gecko, which is from South East Asia, can now be found all over the world.

At different times, it had been linked to food poisoning that could kill.

“Geckos are usually harmless,” said a doctor who only gave his name as “Dr. Omotosho,” who is a biologist. But the lizard’s mouth is full of bacteria that can be very dangerous to humans if they eat it.”

At the time this report was written, the police were already looking into the case, but the cause of death was still unknown.

The man who died was 55 years old, and his wife, Mrs. Pamela Adeleke, was 50. Our research shows that the children were between 13 and 19 years old.
