Five weeks after an oil-like substance mysteriously appeared in the bottom-flat home of a Parika, East Bank Essequibo family, they are awaiting soil test results while remaining fearful that there could be an explosion at any time.
Davo Bicessar, 38, a businessman, said that the substance passed through two layers of concrete and destroyed some of the tiles from the floor where it surfaced.
Bicessar is awaiting the results of tests from the Petroleum Division of the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC). The agency had sent samples of the soil to Trinidad for testing and promised to inform him when the results were ready.
