A 23-year-old nurse, Judith Ginika Okoro, has died in Owerri, Imo State in an unexplained circumstance.
According to a post on Facebook by Mr. Ori Martins, the mother of the deceased, Mrs. Caroline Okoro, said the family received a distress call around 8pm to rush to a hospital along Owerri-Mbaise Road.
At the hospital, they found Judith’s lifeless body with visible injuries, including bruises on her face, blood around her neck, and swollen spots on her back.
The only suspect, 27-year-old Charles, who was with Judith at the time of her death, claimed he was trying to revive her after she collapsed.
However, his explanation failed to account for the severe injuries on her body, leading to suspicions of foul play.
According to Mr. Ori’s report, Judith’s colleagues and friends described her as full of life and energy just hours before her death, making the circumstances even more baffling.
The family of late Judith is appealing to the police to conduct a thorough investigation and bring those responsible to justice.
