The Amutenyi Community in Obollo-Afor, Udenu Local Government Area of Enugu State has been thrown into mourning following the discovery of the bodies of a woman, her two children and two sisters.
They were Mrs. Chinyere Odoh, her two (2) children: Udochukwu Odoh ‘f’ aged 7 and Chukwuemeka Odoh ‘m’ aged 4 as well as her two sisters Martina Ezeme and Ngozi Ezeme.Their corpses were discovered in two separate rooms inside their apartment on Saturday morning.
It was gathered that concerned neighbours, who noticed their unusual absence, raised the alarm as the woman’s husband, Rev. Adolphus Odoh, was said not to be at home. Odoh, a teacher in Community Secondary School (CSS), Ehandiagu, Nsukka LGA, is resident in Obollo Afor, where he was posted as a pastor in an Anglican Church.
A villager said it was when the husband returned home that he and neighbours broke the door to discover that the entire family had died.The villager said: “The family is from Ehandiagu in Nsukka L.G.A but based in Obollo Afor.
“We learnt that the man returned in the morning found his house still locked inside. He knocked and called out, nothing. He also called his wife’s phone number, it was ringing inside without response.“He called his neighbours who told him to break open the door. It was after that the they found the lifeless bodies. All five were already dead.
