The lady, Chioma Onuabuchi, who was burnt to d3ath together with her husband, George in Ebonyi State recently was the younger sister of Nigerian singer, Patrick Okorie, better known as Patoranking.
Initial reports indicated that the couple’s cooking gas exploded trapping the couple in their house which they had just moved into.
DSP Joshua Ukandu, spokesman of the Command in the state told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Thursday confirmed that a preliminary investigation showed that Chioma and George, her husband di3d from gas explosion.
“It happened on the waterworks axis in Abakaliki on August 25. The residents living around the scene called the attention of our personnel who visited the place but the couple had already been taken to the hospital. It’s very unfortunate that both finally di3d. The wife, Chioma di3d sometime in August while the husband di3d this month, September.
We gathered that the wife was a younger sister to the popular Nigerian Afrobeat singer, Patoranking. There are no much details because the victims could not survive to tell the story. So, what kill3d them was gas and not inverter explosion,” the police spokesman explained.
