Chioma, the sister of renowned Nigerian Afrobeats singer Patoranking, has reportedly died in an explosion at her home.
According to reports, Chioma died instantly, while her husband, George, succumbed to his injuries on Wednesday, September 11, 2024.
Media personality Cutie Juls shared the tragic news on Instagram on Thursday, posting a video of the damaged house after the explosion. Juls revealed that the incident occurred shortly after the couple’s housewarming and their child’s birthday celebration.
“Remember when I posted last week that his (Patoranking’s) sister died in a gas explosion at their home, and the husband and child were fighting for their lives in the hospital?” Juls wrote. “The husband couldn’t make it either. He just passed away. Patoranking did everything he could, even buying tons of blood to save his brother-in-law’s life so his nephew wouldn’t be orphaned.”
She also urged Patoranking’s friends to check on him, noting his deep love for his sister.
As of the time of this report, neither Patoranking nor his management team has made a statement regarding the incident.
