Oluwafeyisan, 35, was assisting his neighbor to switch off their faulty generating set on Sunday morning October 16 when it caught fire and exploded spreading all over his body.
Mr Oluwafeyisan who was rushed to the General Hospital Minna in Niger state finally gave up the ghost on Monday evening 17 due to alleged inadequate medical apparatus and incompetence of the medical officials on duty..
Narrating her ordeal to Tori News, his fiancée, Miss Temitope Makinde, said, "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.
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. 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.
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 lamented.
Makinde who is a civil servant based in Kano State, said their wedding had been fixed for May 17, 2017, but that would be just a dream that never happened.
The deceased was buried on Tuesday, October 18, 2016, at a cemetery in the city by his family members.
