Popular Nigerian singer, Patrick Okorie, mostly known as Patoranking, has lost Chioma, his sister and brother-in-law.

Reports earlier speculated that the couple died as a result of inverter explosion.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria Police Force has clarified that their deaths were caused by gas explosion not inverter.

DSP Joshua Ukandu, spokesman of the Ebonyi Command told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Thursday that the incident occurred on August 25.

According to Ukandu, preliminary investigation showed that the Chioma and George Onuabuchi, her husband died from gas explosion.

“It happened on waterworks axis in Abakaliki on August 25. The residents living around the scene called the attention of our personnel who visited the place but the couple has already been taken to hospital.

“It’s very unfortunate that both finally died. The wife, Chioma died sometime in August while the husband died this month, September.

“We gathered that the wife was a younger sister to the popular Nigerian Afrobeat singer, Patoranking .

“There are no much details because the victims could not survive to tell the story. So, what killed them was gas and not inverter explosion,” the police spokesman explained.

Also speaking with NAN, one of the relatives who refused to mention his name described the incident as bad for the family.

“They were young couple. They had only a child, three years old son.

“Please I have more to say. I cannot say more than this. They have gone,” the relative said.
