A man in Garissa almost lost his life during a routine visit to a local hospital. Mohamud Haret had taken one of his acquaintances to Mukona hospital for a medical check-up when he ‘accidentally’ set himself on fire.
As a nurse was examining his friend, Haret’s curiosity got the better of him, and he jokingly asked the health practitioner whether the methylated spirit in the room was flammable.
The nurse thought that Haret was messing around and casually told him to test whether it was flammable by applying it on his body and igniting it. To their dismay, Haret did exactly that.
