Chinwendu was said to have been rushed to the hospital, where a doctor diagnosed that she had internal bleeding as a result of the beating.

Speaking, the father of the deceased, Everistus Nnadoze, said he was called because his son-in-law, Esosa Imasuen, had beaten his daughter and left her with serious injuries.

“They said he took her to the hospital where a doctor was said to have carried out some tests on her, and the result showed that she had internal bleeding”, he said.

He said she later died at the hospital before he could reach her, adding that he was not able to see her corpse as Imasuen had taken her body to an undisclosed mortuary alone.
