Fresh update has surfaced following the death of Nigerian singer Patrick Nnaemeka Okorie’s sister, Chioma, and her husband, George O Buchi who tragically passed away this week.
Gistreel had earlier reported on the death which sent shock wave down the spine of Nigerians. Instagram blogger, Cutie Juls announced the tragic passing of the couple, revealing a gas explosion incident ensued at their home.
However in a recent update, film producer, media personality, Seun Oloketuyi has revealed insights from Chioma’s close friend, Uchechi.
She said that on that tragic day, Chioma and George were upstairs having a peaceful afternoon with their three-year-old son, blissfully oblivious to the impending peril. George suddenly noticed a strange, burning stench permeating the atmosphere. His senses alerted, he made the decision to explore, and Chioma trailed closely behind, leaving their infant soundly asleep upstairs.
Uchechi said as they approached the door to identify the source of the ominous scent, catastrophe struck—a deafening explosion tore through their home, leaving George severely burned and plunging him into a coma. Chioma, too, suffered burns but showed incredible resilience, managing to call friends and her father for help before neighbors rushed them to the hospital.
She described how Chioma, despite her injuries, remained coherent enough to take calls, showing a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. Tragically, that hope dimmed when she died, succumbed to her injuries on August 30 at around 7:38 PM, leaving family and friends shattered.
The story was further complicated by the accusations of a gas explosion being quickly refuted. The couple’s inverter battery and gas cylinder were not the cause of the explosion, according to Seun Oloketuyi’s inquiry, and the generator home was situated some distance away from the main structure.
