It was a moment of shock and sorrow in Anambra State on Tuesday when the body of a yet-to-be-identified pregnant woman was found hanging from a cashew tree in the state.
The body, it was gathered, was seen dangling on the tree along Uke-Ideani Road in Idemili North Local Government Area of the state.
It is unclear, for now, if the pregnant woman committed suicide or was murdered.
Residents, however, revealed that the woman must have been murdered and hanged on the tree to give a false impression of suicide.
The Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, Ikioye Orutugu, confirmed the development, according to a statement by the state police spokesperson, Tochukwu Ikenga, on Tuesday evening.
Mr Orutugu said what happened was suspected to be murder, not suicide.
The police commissioner described the incident as unfortunate and a stark example of “man’s inhumanity to man.”
He appealed to both community and local government leaders to assist with information that can aid in apprehending the killers.
The police chief said he had ordered a thorough investigation into the incident.
