Chinenye Ode, a widow, and mother of six children has become the fourth casualty of suspected adulterated kerosene explosion in some communities in Enugu State.
The late Ode, from Aku in Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of the state died on Wednesday at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, ESUT, Teaching Hospital, Parklane in Enugu metropolis.
He also said “This explosion has been terrible on the community as whole. Mrs Ode’s two children are still in the hospital. She gave birth to her youngest child five months ago and the baby was also affected by the explosion. The incident as whole has taken so much from our people. The hospital management would recommend drugs and ask us to buy them.
“Our hope is that the state governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who visited the patients at the hospital few days ago has taken the responsibility of paying the bills,” he said.
