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.
