Kerosene explosion kills 2, injure 3 in Akwa Ibom

Kerosene explosion has killed two children and injured three others in Akwa Ibom State. According to an eyewitness, the incident occurred in Ikono Ibom Clan in Uyo LGA.

One Mr. Nsikak Michael, a tricycle operator and father-of-3, suffered severe burns from the explosion, which also resulted in the death of two of his children.

According to Nsikak, who also operates a small poultry farm near his house in Ikot Enyingne Ikono, “I bought kerosene from a filling station along Idoro road as I closed from my Keke business.

Upon getting home, I decided to light up the lantern in my poultry farm to keep my birds warm but needed to top up the kerosene in the lamp as it was soon going off. So I came out of the poultry farm just as my kids followed. .

As I attempted to light up the lantern there was a loud explosion with a big flame of fire which left me unconscious.” Crdt: The Nation
