Six persons have died after they returned from a traditional marriage ceremony held at Obollor-Eke in Udenu Council Area of Enugu State.

Among those that died from the sad incident which occurred on August 26, 2022, was the 31-year-old groom, Obinna Dike.

The six victims died after they returned to their own Akutara Village in Adani community of Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area alongside their other relatives, eight of whom are also now hospitalised.

The spokesperson for the Enugu State Police Command, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, in a statement on Sunday said, “Preliminary investigation reveals that one of the confirmed deceased victims, Obinna Dike, 31, attended his own traditional marriage ceremony at Obollor-Eke in Udenu Council Area on Aug. 26 with his relatives and other victims of the incident.

“They thereafter went back home and continued with the celebration.

“However, the following morning, none of them came out of the room where they slept.

“This caused the door to be forced open, with all of them in the room found to be unconscious with foamy discharges from their mouths.”

Explaining further, Ndukwe said that they were immediately evacuated to a hospital where six of them were confirmed dead and deposited in the mortuary for autopsy while eight others had been responding to treatment.

According to him, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Ahmed Ammani, has ordered the state’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to look into the circumstances surrounding the death of the six people.
