Margaret Ikumu: Another Benue girl dies mysteriously in Lagos, secretly buried by her friends (PHOTOS)
Barely one month after the death of one Joy Akum Adole, who was tortured to death by a Lagos-based couple, another young Igede girl identified as Miss Margaret Adiya Ikumu, has died mysteriously.
It was gathered that Meg, as she’s fondly called was living with her friends, Miss Marvelous Mary and Nneka in Ajah area before her death few days ago.
Margaret is from Oju LGA of Benue State.
IDOMA VOICE learnt that when the young lady died, the friends she was living with decided to bury her without the consent of her family.
According to them, they had the instruction of the late Margaret not to allow members of her family to know anything about her death and that they were authorized by the deceased to bury her according to her wish.
This was contained in a petition by the family to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police.
The family in the petition appealed to the “police authority under your leadership to wade in by investigating the incident with the view to establishing the facts and circumstances surrounding her death and eventual burial without the knowledge and consent of her family.”
