But for God’s favour, the family of John Ndukwe of Ugwufie
Community in Afikpo South local government area of Ebonyi State, would have lost
their pregnant wife, Patricia Ndukwe, who was burnt almost beyond recognition
after her lantern exploded and engulfed her in a fire occasioned by adulterated
kerosene. See Photo below.
The sad incident happened at the weekend when the mother of
two attempted to refill her kerosene lamp and the lamp exploded. Her house was engulfed in the fire that ensued and without
the quick intervention of her neighbours, the fire would have burnt her to
death but the inferno consumed valuables like
chairs, beds, electronics, clothes, wrappers and other household
properties.
The inferno badly affected the victim’s face and hands and
has been taken to a cottage hospital in the town for treatment.
