Yesterday, there was a shocking discovery by the Anambra
State police command as they uncovered four female dead bodies in a room
occupied by a couple on Olisa Onyeka Crescent near the Commissioners’ quarters
in Ifite area of Awka, the Anambra State capital.
Two of the dead bodies were said to be holding Holy Bible at
the time they were discovered and they might have gone to pray with the tenant
of the room when they met their death.
Chinwe Obi, a Grade Level 14 officer with INEC who is one of
the victims and a tenant in the building, until her death, was the electoral
officer for Onitsha South LGA.
Hosea Karma, the State Commissioner of Police, said that
following volunteered information, he went with his men to the scene and
discovered the bodies after neighbours tried Mrs. Obi’s telephone line
severally without any response. According to Karma, the decomposing bodies of
the women had been taken to the hospital for autopsy.
It was also gathered that the husband of Mrs Obi, who
returned to Nigeria from Cotonou, died a week ago in the same room and the body
is still in the mortuary.
"A report came to us that a woman was being called on phone without anybody picking it for two days and we had to mobilize to her residence. On getting there, we had to force the window open and saw the bodies lying on the floor. The bodies found in that room were without bruises which was an indication that there was no attack from anyone."
Karma said that the other three women, whose identities had
not been known, were being suspected to be her church members who came to
sympathize with her over the death of her husband.
The police commissioner said, however, that the police
discovered a generating set and a remnant pot of soup suspected to be carbon
monoxide or food poison respectively.
