Chioma, the younger sister of Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Patoranking, has reportedly died with her husband George following a gas explosion in their house, News About Nigeria reports.
Their tragic demise was made public by Instagram blogger, Cutie Juls in a post on Thursday.
According to Cutie Juls, the gas explosion happened at their apartment a day after the couple had their house opening party and child’s birthday celebration.
The entertainment gossip blogger reported that Chioma passed away immediately after the gas explosion, while her husband initially survived, but sadly died yesterday, September 11, 2024.
In her post, Cutie Juls revealed how Patoranking had spent so much money while battling to save his inlaw’s life so he would be alive to take care of their child.
She also called on his colleagues and friends to check in on him during this difficult time.
The blogger didn’t say anything about their child who has also been in the hospital and battling for life.
Her post reads, “Remember when I posted last week or so that Patoranking’s sister passed away in a gas explosion incident in their home and the husband and the child were battling for their lives. The husband also couldn’t make it, he just passed away. Patoranking tried so much, buying tonnes of blood to help save his brother-in-law’s life, so at least his nephew won’t be born an orphan. Remember, he loves his sister so, so much. Please, his friends should check up on him.”
Patoranking is, however, yet to say anything about the tragedy as of the time of this report.
