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 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."
It was 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.
The cause of death could not be ascertained 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.
