It was gathered that the deceased’s boyfriend, whose identity has not yet been established, allegedly fled shortly after her de@th.
A 27-year-old woman, identified as Esther Akwaji, has reportedly collapsed and d!ed under mysterious circumstances while eating at her boyfriend’s home in Dei-Dei, within the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
According to SaharaReporters, it was gathered that the deceased’s boyfriend, whose identity has not yet been established, allegedly fled shortly after her de@th.
Sources told SaharaReporters that Esther, a resident of Nasarawa State, had travelled to the FCT to visit family members. On January 21, she reportedly left her family home, claiming she was heading to a bank in Dei-Dei, but never returned.
Hours later, family members were said to have received a phone call from a man who identified himself as Esther’s boyfriend, using her mobile phone. According to the source, the man informed the family that Esther had visited him and that he had purchased food for them to eat.
The boyfriend allegedly stated that while they were eating, Esther suddenly began vomiting. He claimed he rushed her to Kubwa General Hospital, where doctors confirmed that she was de@d on arrival.
However, the man reportedly fled the hospital shortly after the doctors pronounced her de@d and has remained unreachable since the incident.
Confirming the incident, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, told SaharaReporters that the Command had commenced a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding Esther’s de@th.
“The corpse has been deposited for autopsy to determine the actual cause of de@th, while efforts are ongoing to arrest the fleeing suspect,” Adeh said.
