In an Instagram post by Seun Oloketuyi, it was explained that Patoranking’s sister’s close friend, Uchechi, had contacted him to share what she knew of the situation.
Uchechi noted that the incident which took the couple’s lives happened on August 25, 2024, at their new duplex in Ebonyi state. She said that the husband and wife were with their three-year-old son upstairs when the husband said that he could smell something burning, so he went to investigate, and his wife followed him, leaving their son to sleep upstairs.
It was added that as the couple approached the door to check the smell, an explosion occurred, leaving the husband’s face badly burnt as he went into a coma. His wife, Chioma, on the other hand, also sustained some burns on her body, but she was able to call friends and her dad before neighbours rushed them to the hospital.
According to the friend, Chioma was still a bit strong to take and receive calls before she suddenly died on August 30, at around 7:38pm.
The gas did not explode
According to the post made by Seun Oloketuyi, contrary to claims that the explosion was caused by gas, it was later confirmed that the couple’s gas cylinder did not explode, neither did anything happen to their inverter battery and their generator house was far from the main building.
