A sad and mysterious incident has shaken the Afashio Community of Uzairue, located in the Edo State of Nigeria, after five people were found dead under sinister circumstances. The tragedy occurred last week in a single room, where four young men and a young woman were discovered lifeless.
Their family members had reported them missing, leading to a frantic search that ended in a devastating discovery. Initial reports indicate that two of the deceased were brothers, while the others, including the woman, were close friends.
The cause of their demise remains unclear, with no visible signs of injury or struggle on the bodies. Food poisoning has been suggested as a potential explanation by a source within the community.
The Jattu Police Division has received the report, and the families of the victims are desperately seeking answers. Edo State Police Command spokesperson Moses Yamu has confirmed the incident, stating that an investigation is underway to determine the cause of death.
Separately, the Edo State command of the Nigeria Police Force has apprehended two individuals linked to the kidnapping of Catholic priest Rev. Fr. Thomas Ayode. State Commissioner of Police Umoru Ozigi announced the arrest on Wednesday, along with the parading of seven other suspects detained for various criminal activities, including armed robbery, kidnapping, cult activities, and car theft.
The incident highlights the urgent need for thorough investigations and a commitment to maintaining public safety.
