Tragedy struck in Umuogwuta,
Ndegwu, Owerri West local council
area of Imo State, as a lady who was
giving her testimony during the New
Year service suddenly collapsed and
died. A villager, who spoke to Vanguard on ground of anonymity, said: “The
Lagos-based lady, Ifeoma Anozie,
collapsed and died while giving her
testimony inside Saint John’s
Anglican Church, Ndegwu.” Vanguard also gathered that Ifeoma
returned to her country home not to
only give testimony about her
achievements in the passing year, but
also felicitate with her kith and kin. “The lady had hardly commenced her
testimony when she suddenly slumped
and died in front of the officiating cleric
and left the congregation completely
perplexed,” the villager said. Speaking also on the issue, a woman
who simply identified herself as Felicia,
lamented that what ordinarily should
have been a double celebration for the
Anozie family suddenly turned sour. “The church service was designed to
be a double celebration for the Anozie
family. It, however, turned out to be a
tragedy for the family, the church and
Ndegwu community,” Felicia
lamented. Other villagers that also spoke to
Vanguard, said ifeoma was a very
promising young lady but none could
guess she would die untimely. Although Vanguard could not ascertain
the cause of death at press time, as no
member of the immediate family could
be reached for comments. However, the remains of the lady had
been deposited in an undisclosed
hospital morgue.
