A woman narrowly escaped death after being involved in a fire incident at her residence in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state capital. According to reports, the woman was trying to light up a stove before it went up in flames and burnt her. She was lucky to have put off the fire before it spread to other parts of her body.
The kerosene explosion victim was later rushed to the hospital where she is currently being treated.
Meanwhile, kerosene dealers across Akwa Ibom and other states have raised the alarm over suspected adulterated product in circulation in all the markets.
Some of the dealers alleged that illegal refined kerosene was currently in circulation in all the markets, disclosing that the suspected adulterated kerosene sells cheaper than the product from the Nigerian National Petroleum Co-operation (NNPC).
