Nigerian Afrobeats artist, Patoranking has reportedly lost his younger sister, Chioma, and her husband, George, in a tragic incident.
According to Instagram blogger Cutie Juls, the couple had recently moved into their new home and celebrated with a housewarming party.
Cutie Juls explained that Chioma died in a gas explosion at their home, and her husband and child were critically injured.
But some sources speculated that the couple was struck by what seemed like an “invisible thunder” while they were in the living room, causing instant devastation without visible burns.
Cutie Juls said that Chioma died immediately, while George slipped into a coma and was rushed to the hospital.
Despite Patoranking’s efforts, including purchasing blood to save his brother-in-law, George unfortunately passed away as well, leaving their child orphaned.
The blogger lamented the heartbreaking incident, noting that the tragedy occurred the day after their housewarming and their child’s birthday celebration.
Cutie Juls pointed out that the couple died without enjoying their first home, but their live-in nanny miraculously escaped without any injuries.
The post reads, “Remember when I posted last week or so that his sister passed away in a gas explosion incident in their home and the husband and child are battling for their lives in the hospital?
“The husband also couldn’t make it. He just passed away.
“Pathoranking tried to so much. Buying tones of blood to help save his brother-in-law’s life so at least his nephew won’t be an orphan.
“Remember he loves that his sister so so much. Abeg, his friends should help check on him.”
In follow-up post, Cutie Juls explained “They had their house opening party and their baby’s birthday party the previous day.
“Early morning next day, the incident happened. The cooking was mostly done at the back of the house.
You know we shouldn’t trust the safety of the house and cleaning safely in the hands of our domestic staffs all the time [my opinion].
“The couple didn’t even enjoyed their first owned house as the incident happened a day after they did the opening 💔💔🥲
“No scratch on the nanny that lives in with them. I’m not saying the nanny should have been hurt by all means but it’s kinda strange how she was able to escape with no single injury allegedly
“It’s just sad. So so sad way for this baby to become an orphan. 💔💔💔💔🥲🥲”
Sharing a video of the house, the blogger added, “Hmmm PATORANKING’s sister’s house after the incident.
“Some close sources says it’s more like thunder was sent to strike and kpai them. And that the couple were downstairs in the living room when the “alleged invisible thunder” strike came, went through the gas and straight to the couple. No burns apparently. The husband went straight into coma, Chioma passed almost immediately. Hmm.. may their souls rest in peace 🙏”
