Little girl suffers severe burns after transformer explodes at Lagos bus-stop (graphic)

12 year old Adetayo Adefarasin, a student of Government Junior College, Epe, suffered severe burns to her face, chest, arm and legs after a faulty transformer exploded along Broad street, Lagos as she was trying to board a bus while returning from church on September 20th.

She was rushed to General Hospital, Lagos where she's still receiving treatment for her severe injury. The faulty transformer was repaired two days after this incident but according to girl's family who reached out to LIB, PHCN have not made any attempt to help the girl who is still in hospital. Friends say she is a brilliant student and was looking forward to a great future. The family want to sue PHCN over the incident I hear but haven't done so yet. The carelessness of these people is worrisome. They don't do anything until someone gets killed or injured. See photos of Adetayo in hospital after the cut

    Its really sad to know that human life means nothing to our leaders in terms of lack of infrastructure and proper maintenance is a big issue, it only attracts attention when someone is injured or rather killed.

    Lord....This is totally unacceptable!!! The parents should not even follow up PHCN to settle their medical bills....they should be sued heavily to the tune of several hundreds of millions of naira. This little girl's life would be changed forever! Apart from the pain she is passing through she would go through a lot of psychological trauma and not only her but her parents, family and friends. What they need is a good lawyer! Please if you are a professional lawyer and your heart is touched by this, you would be doing the country, the african race and humanity a favour by taking this up personally without even burdening the parents.

    TCHAI! SUch a beautiful brainy girl. Really hurts me to know she was trying to board a bus while returning from CHURCH!Don't mean to sound blasphemous here pals but does this in any way mean she wouldn't have been this victim if she had stayed back at home that Sunday? Her parents would have even called her names and flogged her if she had decided not to go to Church that day like she had an inkling something sinister was around the corner. Sometimes I just don't get it! God please surprise this girl for me and bring back joy, confidence and fulfillment in her life IJN.
