Chioma, the sister of renowned Nigerian Afrobeats singer Patoranking, has tragically passed away following an explosion at her home.
Chioma reportedly died instantly from the explosion, while her husband, George, succumbed to his injuries on Wednesday, September 11, 2024.
The news was shared by media personality Cutie Juls in an Instagram post on Thursday. Alongside a video showing the wreckage of their home, Cutie Juls revealed that the explosion occurred shortly after the couple had celebrated their housewarming and their child’s birthday.
“Remember when I posted last week that Patoranking’s sister passed away in a gas explosion at their home, and her husband and child were fighting for their lives in the hospital?” Cutie Juls wrote. “Sadly, her husband didn’t make it either. He passed away after Patoranking did everything he could, even purchasing large amounts of blood to save his brother-in-law so their child wouldn’t become an orphan.”
She also added, “Patoranking loved his sister deeply. Friends should check on him.”
At the time of this report, Patoranking and his management have not yet responded to the incident.
