The Anambra state police command has made a shocking discovery in a room along Olisa Onyeka Crescent, Commissioner’s quarters, Ifite, Awka. Newsday reports that policemen discovered four already decomposing bodies in a room on Tuesday, September 8.
The team of policemen who were led by the state commissioner of police, Hassan Karma, alongside an ambulance and some morticians, broke the door of the room and discovered four female dead bodies. The ladies died in the room without any injuries or signs that suggest any accidental struggle leading to their deaths.
However, one of the dead bodies, who was the owner of the room, Mrs. Chinwe Obi, was a staff of Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission INEC, Awka. According to reports made available by tenants and the landlady of the house, Mrs Obi had only stayed in the room for 11 months. She lost her husband on Friday, September 4, in the same room. The other three ladies were said to be church members who came to sympathize with Mrs Obi; sadly they all met their deaths. The owner of the building, Ify Onyebumuo, told newsmen how she was called on the phone by one of the tenants who said Mrs Obi has not been seen in the house since Saturday. She further revealed how the tenants had told her of the strange awful water dropping out from her (deceased’s) room, adding that she had not picked her phone since Sunday. Also, the caretaker of the building, Ignatius Machie, said he was also contacted on phone by some tenants who told him they suspected some people died in that room. Machie confirmed that the deceased’s husband who died on Friday had been taken to the mortuary before the unfortunate tragedy.
Confirming the incident, CP Hassan said Mr Obi, who lives in Cotonou, died in the same room when he visited last Friday, saying that the other three women whose identity had not been disclosed were to be her church members who came to sympathize with her over the death of her husband. Hassan said that though the police was still investigating the mysterious deaths, it is suspected that generator fumes or food poison might have caused their deaths.
The commissioner disclosed that the remnant of soup in a pot found in the room had been taken for investigation while their bodies deposited in a mortuary in Awka were also being examined.
