Nigerian Lady Loses Fiancé To Fire Accident Few Months To Wedding (Graphic Pics)
A
Startimes Operations Manager in Minna, Niger state named Damilare
Oladapo Oluwafeyisan, 35 gruesomely passed away on Monday, 17th,
October, 2016 after suffering a severe fire accident from an electric
generator explosion.
According to his fiancée - Miss Temitope
Makinde who spoke to Tori News, Mr. Oluseyisan fondly called Dre was
assisting his neighbour to switch off the seemingly faulty generating
set around 12:15am on Sunday, the 16th of October when the device
inexplicably caught fire which rapidly spread across his body.
Dre
writhed in unbearable anguish as efforts were made to put off the fire
that had enveloped his entire body sparing his face alone.
The victim
was swiftly rushed to the General Hospital Minna, Niger state where he
finally gave up the ghost at 9:30pm the following day (Monday) due to
the alleged negligence, inadequate medical apparatus and gross
incompetence of medical officials on duty.
Miss Temitope who
narrated the tortuous ordeal of Dre to Tori News amidst uncontrollably
tears and gnashing of teeth believes the hospital apparently exacerbated
the already critical condition of her lover, who was already making
frantic preparations to marry her in May, 2017.
"My Dre shouldn't
have died at all. No doctor was available to treat him. The available
nurses only placed him on drips with no concrete treatment procedures
while he laboured to survive in excruciating distress" Temitope said in a
heavy voice.
"In fact, you will not believe the hospital had no
drugs at all and other medical kits for accident victims. The nurses
kept referring us to buy stuffs outside the hospital premises" she
continued.
"It was crystal clear that Dre was dying as his mode
of breathing changed and his heartbeat was irregular while he rolled
from one side of the bed to the other in unbearable discomfort" Temitope
averred as tears rolled down her cheeks.
When Tori News probed
further about the depth of the medical treatment, she revealed
painkillers were administered to him to suppress his turbulent health
condition but they proved ineffectual as the patient remained totally
unstable.
"He laid on his sick bed scantily clad at an open ward
in the full glare of the public after his burned skin was peeled. His
clothes and bed sheets had to be changed recurrently as they were always
drenched in his body fluids"
"He became an object of sympathy as different people stared at his severe skin burns with compassion"
"What hurts me most is that no doctor was available to attend to my fiancé as he started to die slowly due to loss of energy"
After
deliberations, Dre's eldest brother – Tunde, Temitope and other loved
ones who were with him at the emergency ward decided to transfer him to a
standard hospital in Abuja with improved medical facilities as his
resounding cries rented the air of the ward without adequate medical
attention.
Their decision was impeded by a bureaucratic procedure
- authorized referral letter from the medical doctor in charge who was
nowhere near his office from the afternoon period till the evening
thereby leaving the hapless Dre to the cold hands of death.
According
to Temitope, all efforts to reach the medical doctor proved futile till
Dre gradually started dying. The handsome and promising young man who
observed his National Youth Service programme alongside Temitope in the
year 2011 at Akwete, Ukwa East Local Government Area - Abia State was
finally pronounced dead at 9:30pm on Monday after he lost consciousness.
Temitope,
a civil servant based in Kano wishes she could wake up from the
nightmare of her lover's abrupt end as the family mourns him endlessly.
"If
tears could restore the life of a dead person, Dre would have been back
with me by now as I can't just be consoled about the loss" she
lamented.
"I want people especially the government to know the
importance of having adequate health facilities and well trained medical
personnel in the country. Many promising lives of talented heads have
been lost to the absence of adequate medical facilities in government
hospitals."
"My Dre was very intelligent, hardworking, always
touching lives, smiling and rarely gets angry but I have lost him" she
concluded.
Dre has since been buried at a cemetery in Minna by
his family on Tuesday, the 18th of October, 2016. Dre was the 5th son of
his mother who had six boys hailed from Ijebu in Ogun State but he grew
up in Kano city.
Temitope met Dre during their service year in
the South-eastern part of Nigeria and the duo started off as close
friends for over 5 years before they later fell in love with each other
in August this year.
