This is a message sent to Emechebe by the victim’s sister, Chinasa:

“Good afternoon sis Blossom, my name is Chinasa. I wish we would have related under better circumstances, but it’s so unfortunate.

Please I’m requesting a favor of u. I would like to use your platform to seek support for my sister. She was involved in a gas fire accident yesterday morning.

She woke up at about 6am to boil water to bathe for work; she turned on the gas and struck the matches, it didn’t catch, then she did it again, it was then we heard d explosion.

The fire threw her against the door, and then blocked her exit, according to her, she didn’t know the force dat got her too her feet, and so she entered the fire and rushed out of the kitchen to the room, the fire chased her out, the rug where she was standing on got burnt. So that was how it happened.

She is currently receiving treatment in a hospital, but her condition is critical, and the bill is huge.
