In a tragic incident, six members of the same family were found dead in Obehie, Ukwa West Local Government Area of Abia State.
The discovery was made by neighbors on Wednesday in the community of Isi Obehie, which has left the local residents and nearby villages in shock and mourning.
While the official cause of death has not been confirmed, a community source suggested that the family may have died from inhaling generator fumes. There are also unverified claims of a possible ‘spiritual attack’ being responsible for the deaths.
According to the source, the deceased include three children, their mother, the mother’s sister, and her brother-in-law. The father, who was not at home during the incident, is the sole surviving member of the family.
The source further mentioned that the family originally hailed from another local government area in Abia State but had been living in Obehie before the unfortunate event.
The identities of the deceased have not yet been released, but the spokesperson for the Abia State Police Command, ASP Maureen Chinaka, confirmed the incident to DAILY POST.
Chinaka stated that an investigation is currently underway to determine the cause of the deaths.
“We got such report, investigation is ongoing to unveil the cause of death”, the Police spokesperson said.
