It is reported that Ifeanyi from Nkanu, Enugu state and a trader at the Onitsha Bridge Head Market, had planned a surprise package for his wife on Saturday July 16, after her discharge from the hospital having been delivered of a new baby by deciding that they would pack into his new mansion at Nkwele Ezunaka to celebrate the new born and new house together .
Following a blackout from the public power source, he put on the generator stationed at the veranda close to the bedroom to provide light in the new house that night.
