Ebonyi Police confirms gas explosion that resulted in the tragic demise of Patoranking’s sister & her husband

  • Chioma Obasi, sister of Afrobeats singer Patoranking, and her husband George Obasi died in a gas explosion at their Abakaliki residence.
  • Recently, a severe incident occurred, resulting in severe injuries to the couple.
  • Chioma died five days after receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Abakaliki, while George passed away the following day.

The Ebonyi State Police Command has reported the heartbreaking deaths of Chioma Obasi, sister of famous Afrobeats artist Patoranking, and her husband George Obasi, due to a gas explosion at their home in Abakaliki.

This unfortunate event took place recently, resulting in serious injuries for the couple.

Despite being treated at a hospital in Abakaliki, Chioma passed away five days later from her injuries, and George followed the next day.

Their three-year-old son, who was upstairs during the explosion, managed to escape unharmed. The police investigation suggests that a gas leak was the likely cause of the explosion, which was ignited by a spark when the door was opened.

There have been conflicting reports regarding the cause of the blast, with some suggesting it might have been an inverter battery explosion or even a deliberate dynamite attack. However, the police have refuted these theories, confirming that the explosion stemmed from a gas leak.

The community is in shock, with neighbors describing the sound of the explosion as resembling a bomb blast due to the significant damage inflicted on the building’s ground floor.

Police spokesperson Joshua Ukandu stated that initial investigations point to a gas leak as the probable cause, and the investigation is ongoing.
