| Gabin: Burnt To Death in His Sleep Due to Low-quality Cables
All they wanted to do was save some money. Dad, mum, and many others thought electrical materials are all the same. As such, for installations inside the house, they got the cheapest materials from the nearby market: fin wires, “made in anywhere” sockets, funny-looking switch breakers...
However, electricity is not even remotely elastic. Bad- quality cables are not heat resistant. They melt, heat up, lose their protective layer...and become death traps.
That fateful evening, in this house teeming with children, a cable concealed in the ceiling overheated and went up in flames. The fire spread faster than people could act. Neighbours came running, fire-fighters battled the flames. But it was too late. Little Gabin, 3, asleep in his mother’s room, could not be saved. Discovered at dawn, his body was nothing but a pile of charcoal.
This was not an accident. This was a crime of carelessness.
Studies show that over 70% of electrical material sold in our markets is of bad quality
