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 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.”
It was 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.
Although the cause of her death could
not be ascertain as 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.
