2-year-old Adaugo Ibe was said to have mysteriously drowned in a
15-feet underground tank built to collect rain water for domestic use in
the Ibe compound and foul play has been suspected as she was allegedly
pushed in by an unidentified woman.
According to reports, little Adaugo was on a visit to her
grandfather. Before the tragic incident occurred, the deceased was said
to be playing with the daughters of a family member, Izuoma Ibe, whose
wife has been fingered in the death of the girl.

“We were sitting together with deceased’s parents, unknown to us that she had fallen into the tank.”
The father of the deceased, the elder brother of Izuoma Ibe, had come
to settle a family matter between his wife and their mother.
“Our mother and my senior brother’s wife had been at loggerheads
since she was married more than two years ago, and they came home from
Egbu in Owerri, to see how to settle the matter when the incident
happened,” Ibe said.
Izuoma had bought two packets of cheese balls for the late Adaugo and
his daughter while other members of the family sat at the front of the
house to discuss how to resolve the lingering feud, shortly before the
incident.
“As we were sitting in the frontage discussing how to resolve the
quarrel between our mother and my senior brother’s wife, it occurred to
my brother to ask his wife of the whereabouts of their daughter.
