"I filled my 12.5kg Gas Cylinder for #4,500 on Wednesday 7th February at a popular Gas filling company along Eziobodo FUTO Road.
After that day, I noticed that my cylinder was leaking gas and I complained to the guy who filled my gas but he didn't listen.
Since Thursday, I have been trying to set up the cylinder myself but I didn't know it had no positive effect.

On Saturday evening, I just came back to my room after escorting out a friend who visited me. I wanted to warm my food and immediately I lit my match, I just heard an explosion on the air and all my body caught fire. Thank God I wasn't even putting on my clothes.

I forgot where I kept my key because my door was locked. Thank God my neighbours heard the noise and the came to bend my door for me to come out. That night we went to FUTO Medical Health Center but no one was there. We went on bike to another hospital before Obinze and they told us to pay #10,000 and later said they can't take good care of me. We went to St John's Hospital Obinze and they gave me 3 Injections, we were advised to go to Federal Medical Center Owerri as they had no good equipments.

I thank God for my friend and lodge mate, Festus who has been carrying me all this while to FMC, without him, God knows what I would have done."

Mr. Ajah Callistus hails from Awugu LGA in Enugu State. He is a 500L Student of Federal University of Technology Owerri, department of Statistics.
