The traditional ruler of Eziudo community, Eze Desmond Oguguo, HRM, confirmed the incident. He recalled that a day prior to the tragedy, Mr. Ugwunna brought a Yoruba lady home from Lagos and introduced her as his future wife, although he already had a wife and two children whom he had reportedly abandoned three years ago. The children are currently staying with his mother in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

Another member of the community disclosed that the lady’s husband came and took her corpse to Yorubaland.

It was further gathered that the lady, who worked in a new generation bank, had lied to her husband that she was attending a meeting in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, while she went to Mbaise with her lover.

However, the medical director of Obizie People Medical Centre where Wilson was rushed to for medical attention, Dr. Ohanyere Alex Chibuike, said the rumour about magun was baseless. He said the real cause of their deaths was the carbon monoxide they inhaled from a generating set throughout the night, explaining that he conducted tests on the deceased.

The commissioner of police, Imo State command, Mr. Abdulmaheed Ali confirmed the incident.
