A man identified to be a pastor
of Foursquare Gospel Church was burnt to death as generator caught fire and explodes,
on Wednesday, August 31. The sad incident which occurred at plot 100 Nkwere
Street, Umuahia, Abia state capital,
left an unidentified technician injured. Daily Trust reports that the
deceased had called the technician to service his generator, but while he was
helping him to start the generator, it exploded and burst into flames.
However the
technician, who was closer to the door, was able to escape but the pastor was
trapped inside the staircase and could not escape as a result of smoke that
engulfed the building. An eyewitness who pleaded anonymity reveals efforts were
made to put out the fire but the man was already dead by the time he was
brought out of the staircase.
