The Ebonyi Police Command has said Police authorities are working to uncover the cause of death of a popular prophetess in Ebonyi, who was found dead along Ezza Road in Abakaliki.

While briefing journalists on Tuesday, the Police Public Relations Officer, Loveth Odah said an investigation was ongoing to fathom the cause of the woman’s death, adding that her (deceased) church was located in Ezza North Local Government Area of Ebonyi.

The deceased, Felicia Agwu, was found dead along Ezza Road area of Abakaliki, according to a police report.

“A woman in her early 50s was found lying lifeless along the Ezza Road axis of Abakaliki on May 18, when a good-spirited Nigerian called the attention of the Command, which quickly mobilised to the scene.

“Our men got to the scene, took the woman to the hospital, where she was confirmed dead by a medical expert.

“The cause of her death is yet unknown, but we have launched an investigation to ascertain the real cause of her death.

“There were no injuries found on her body to establish a case of criminal attack on the deceased, so, for now, we are having a case of ‘sudden’ death until we conclude our investigation.

“We implore the family of the deceased and the public with vital information that might help the Police in their investigation to contact the Command,” Odah said.
