Patoranking’s Sister and Husband Die in Tragic Home Explosion
Nigerian Afrobeats star Patoranking is mourning the tragic loss of his sister, Chioma, who died in a gas explosion that occurred at her home.
According to reports, the explosion claimed her life instantly, while her husband, George, succumbed to his injuries days later on Wednesday, September 11, 2024.
The heartbreaking news was shared by media personality Cutie Juls via Instagram on Thursday.
In a post, she included a video showing the aftermath of the explosion at the family’s home, revealing that the tragic incident happened shortly after the family had celebrated a housewarming and their child’s birthday.
Cutie Juls also highlighted the efforts made to save George, mentioning that Patoranking went to great lengths to help, including purchasing large amounts of blood in a desperate bid to keep his brother-in-law alive.
Unfortunately, despite the attempts, George did not survive, leaving their child orphaned.
The singer’s deep bond with his sister was well-known, and this loss has hit him hard.
Cutie Juls expressed concern for Patoranking’s well-being, urging his friends to rally around him during this difficult time.
As of now, neither Patoranking nor his management has made any official statement regarding the devastating incident.
The tragedy has left fans and loved ones in shock, with many offering their condolences to the grieving family.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
