A pregnant woman in Ebonyi State escaped death by the whiskers after
the lamp she was carrying exploded due to adulterated kerosene and burnt
her almost beyond recognition.
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.
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.
