A suspected street worker has been found dead in a hotel on the old market road, Anambra State.
It was reported that the deceased, who was simply known as Chisom from Enugu State, died on January 30, 2023, after doing chores.
Speaking with The Nation, a neighbor stated that the lady took her life after finding out that her boyfriend had taken someone else as his wife.
The neighbor said:
“She had a boyfriend that always spent a lot of money on her. Even this last Christmas the boy came to her with a bag of rice with #200,000, among other items and asked her to travel for Christmas and come back later,”
“When asked why she was holding the rope she became aggressive and early in the morning, she swept her room and around 9am what we heard was that she has committed suiiicciiide in her rooom,
“We saw her neck tied with a rope to the window in her room but the legs were touching the floor. So we don?t know if it was suiiiccciide as no foam was gushing out from her mouth but the tongue was out.”
Officers from the nearby Onitsha Area Police Area Command visited the venue at around 12.30 p.m. and left with a few hotel staff members before returning with an ambulance and removing the body.
Investigation has started, stated DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, a spokesperson for the State police Command who confirmed the incident to the media.
“No suuiiciiide note was found in the room to suspect suuiiccide. We?re exploring all options to unravel the circumstances surrounding the death.”
