The Imo State Police Command has launched investigation into the death of one Ginika Judith Okoro in the house of her boyfriend, Charles Ndukwu.
The sad incident happened last Sunday in Ezeogba, Awaka, Owerri North Local Government Area
Ginika, a 22-year-old nurse, died during her visit to Charles’ house.
The suspect went on to attribute her demise to a pepper soup he bought for the deceased, saying after taking it she fell sick and he had to rush her to a hospital where she was confirmed dead.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Henry Okoye, said the matter is under investigation while the deceased’s boyfriend is in their custody.
The mother of the late nurse, Mrs. Caroline Nneji in an interview with newsmen invoked the help of the authorities to bring Charles to justice.
“My only daughter died last Sunday when she visited a young man called Charles. My only daughter who was 22 years old was raised by us.
“She has a chemist shop where she treats patients, and you know as a nurse she goes to patients’ houses sometimes to treat them.
“This fateful Sunday, she visited a young man and died in his house.
“All we seek from the police and the state government is proper investigation for the unraveling of the facts behind our daughter’s mysterious death.
“It is the truth only that we are seeking, after all, our daughter cannot come back to life again,” the bereaved mother said.
