Nursing Female Student From Abia Found Beheaded In Imo Apartment

The Umulogho community in the Obowo Local Government Area of Imo State is still in panic following the gruesome killing of a female student of the College of Nursing, Umuadara Umulogho, identified as Wendy Achumba.

The student was reportedly found beheaded in her room on Thursday evening after neighbours became worried when she neither came out nor responded to repeated calls.

Sources in the community said the victim, who hailed from Ngwa in Abia State, had completed her midwifery programme and was undergoing post-basic training at the institution.

A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said neighbours forced their way into her room after several unsuccessful attempts to reach her, only to discover her lifeless body with her head severed.

The source added that the door was still firmly locked with the key, while the victim’s mobile phone could not be found.

Another resident, identified simply as Ike, said the incident was shocking as the deceased was seen alive a day earlier.

“We don’t know who did this or why she was killed. When we forced the door open, it was still locked from the inside. Someone checked and dismissed fears of rape, but her phone was missing,” the source said.
