Mary Stephen Okoi is from Ugep, Yakurr Local Government Area of Cross Rivers State, Nigeria.

The family of Mr. Stephen Okoi are questioning the sudden and mysterious disappearance of thier daughter and mother at the Royal Palace of her in-laws whom she had not been in good cordial relationship with lately; bearing in mind the fact that the Palace has CCTV cameras and security operatives on guard 24 hours.

Explanations given to the family of Mr. Stephen Okoi by the Royal family as to the disappearance of Mary Stephen Okoi on the 24th day of December, 2020 is tainted with conspiracy and foul play which no reasonable and responsible individual would accept with regards to a human life.

The family therefore calls for a detailed investigation by all relevant law enforcement agencies, national and international human rights organizations to intervene and ensure justice is done for Mrs. Mary Stephen Okoi.
