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.”
