The Police Command in Ebonyi has come out to say that the explosion that claimed the lives of Mr and Mrs George Onuabuchi in Abakaliki was from a gas cylinder, and not from an inverter battery. Recall that Mrs Onuabuchi was Patoranking’s sister, and fan have been reacting.
According to the spokesman of the Command in the state, DSP Joshua Ukandu, a preliminary investigation showed that the couple died from a gas explosion, and the incident happened on the waterworks axis in Abakaliki on August 25.
He added that Pato’s sister died sometime in August, while her husband recently gave up this month.
His words, “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 has already been taken to hospital.
It’s very unfortunate that both finally died. The wife, Chioma died sometime in August while the husband died 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 killed them was gas and not inverter explosion.”
WOW.
