"I am in hospital because I was involved in a minor incident in which I burnt my legs," he stated as he held the appliance.
He revealed that he had been using the devise gifted to him by a friend and followed the instructions given to him to the latter.
"I was first told that you connect it to the power, which I did. I connected it to power and stepped on it. At night, my legs raptured and I had to be rushed to hospital the following day," he stated.
He revealed that he was rushed to hospital the following day, where he was put under the knife. The doctor informed him that he had suffered third degree burns.
