An identified man has fled with his lover’s 2-year-old daughter after she died in her apartment at Woke Street, off Chirubim Road, Mile 3, Diobu, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
It was gathered that the body of the woman was discovered by her co-tenants on Sunday, December 19.
According to the caretaker of the house, Chinonye Anurum, the late tenant and her lover are not married.
She revealed that the sudden disappearance of Uchechi’s lover with her daughter was suspicious.
Anurum told newsmen;
“She was sick for almost four days and the man did not tell anybody. Maybe he suspected that the lady would give up the ghost, so he took the child away.
“It was the following day we got information that after he left with the little girl, he went to Mile 3 and told one of her friends to go and check if she was still alive.
“So around 8pm, we saw her friend who said it was like Oyigbo was dead. That was how she hinted us. We went to the house and found out that she was already dead.
“As the caretaker, I had to go to the police to report. Up till now, we have not seen the man and the child. So, that is why people are suspecting that he may know what happened to the girl.”
Meanwhile, the state police spokesperson, Nnamdi Omoni has revealed that investigation is ongoing.
