Family raises alarm over daughter’s death, secret burial by friends ...
The above are issues investigators at the Lagos State Police Command would have to unravel following a petition submitted at the weekend by the late Ikumu’s family.It was gathered that the deceased, a native of Idoma in Benue State left the village last year with no one knowing her whereabouts.
In the petition dated May 15 and signed by Tony Iji, the family alleged that when they saw the obituary comments on their sister’s Facebook wall, they tried to call her mobile phone 0811377322 but it has remained switched off. We do not know what killed her nor what would have made her leave such a note, that’s if indeed she did. She told us they were burying her on Thursday and that she died on Monday.
“All efforts we made to locate them in order to stop the burial were unsuccessful. We sent people round Lekki and Ajah areas with her photograph and other things we believed she could be identified by but no one knew her. “To this end, the family is in a state of dilemma on how to get to the root of the story surrounding her demise. This has cost the family of late Margaret a lot of trauma, especially her mother who is insisting on seeing the body of her daughter if she is truly dead.
The Nation gathered that Ikumu and Sylvester last met last year though they spoke on phone during the lockdown period.
