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.
