Jos Chlorine Explosion Victim Dies by africwap(m): 2:59pm On Jul 31, 2015
One more victim of the
chlorine gas explosion, which occurred at the water
treatment plant of the Plateau State Water Board in Jos, has died, bringing the death toll to nine.

Eight persons were said to
have died and more than 101 others received treatment for reportedly inhaling excessive poisonous gas, when a cylinder, containing chlorine, exploded last Friday night.

Our correspondent gathered that the latest victim is 18- year-old Samuel Nwosu.

Nwosu, who lived at
Millionaire Quarters, just
behind the water board
premises, was said to have
been rushed to the Plateau
State Specialist Hospital, in Jos.

His condition, however,
reportedly worsened a few
days after and was rushed to another hospital on Thursday, where he eventually gave up
the ghost.

Nwosu’s death was confirmed
by his father, Chief Larry
Nwosu, who added that the
deceased had been buried.

Some residents of the area,
who spoke to our correspondent, expressed
worry about the long effect
of the explosion on their
health.

They were particularly
concerned that the
government had not
conducted an environmental
impact assessment to
determine the long effect of the inhalation of the gas.
