A 35-year-old lady, Josephine Mba, was yesterday, found dead in her apartment at 9c, Igweogbofia Street, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.
Mba’s decomposing body was found inside her single apartment with flies feasting on her remains.
The lady who hailed from Amata Akpoha in Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, was the secretary of Great Minds Academy, a private school in Abakaliki. Many residents of the area have fled following the odour from her decomposing body.
A resident of the building where Mbah died, James Okeh, said many residents had fled due to the stench oozing from the decomposing body of the woman.
Okeh said: “The dead woman does not relate with anybody in the compound as she always isolated herself from whatever concerns inhabitants of the building and the area.
“This makes it difficult to account for what happened to her as she remained indoors whenever she is around and does not toe recognizable paths while returning home from work.
“We call on relevant authorities to urgently evacuate the corpse to prevent an outbreak of disease and other environmental hazards in the area.”
Chairman, Ebonyi State Emergency Management Agency, Evangelist Ephraim Ononye, assured that the corpse will be evacuated.
“It is the police that will ascertain whether the deceased committed suicide. The police will carry out autopsy and her family will come in,” Ononye said.
