CITIZENS COMPASS – There was panic in Isiala-Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State as a yet-to-be identified pregnant woman was found dead in a bush along Amaraku-Umudim Road.
Investigations revealed that the the upper garment of the deceased was removed by some yet-to-be identified persons.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday.
A villager who pleaded for anonymity said the woman had no blood stain on her body when she was found inside the bush.
The source said, “It happened in the morning of Tuesday. The woman was killed and dumped in the bush along Amaraku-Umudim Road. She was pregnant and was stripped naked of her upper wear.
“But the confusing thing is that she did not sustain any blood stains to link her death to assassins or gunmen. We are yet to find out exactly what led to her death.”
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Henry Okoye, said he had yet to be briefed on the matter but promised to revert as soon as the command gets information but didn’t get back as of the time of filing this report.
