| The laboratory reduced to ashes |
Ndang Johnson, the
Night Watch man of the Dumbu Health Center who suffered from severe fire burns
has kicked the bucket at the Nkambe District Hospital. Ndang Johnson died
yesterday April 10, 2015 while undergoing medical treatment. It is said that
the Night Watch man arrived the health center and in his routine habit of
warming himself, he lighted fire just to discover that flames were burning in
the air. In an attempt to rescue the Health Center, and out of fear, he
sustained severe burns. Tongues are still waging in Dumbu town in Donga Mantung
Division over the demise of Ndang Johnson. He is the third person to die in
that institution. A Nurse and a Clearner of the said Health Center died not
long. Suspicion looms as to whether someone had not planted some “juju” or
black magic in the premises of the health center. Yet, not a hint had linked
the previous incidents to the eviction of the Chief of Health Center.
It is alleged that the Laboratory technician
of the Centre had changed the gas bottle and did not closed it firmly. The fire
is said to have reduced to ashes everything inside the laboratory, injection
and dressing rooms. Fire seems to elect permanent residence in Dumbu. Few months
ago, fire rendered about 10 families homeless. This is the second incident in
less than three months.
