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.
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.by chibabynaija1
