A 27-year-old lady, Esther Akweji, has died after reportedly collapsing while eating at her boyfriend’s residence in Dei-Dei, Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), sparking a police investigation.
Esther, who was said to be a resident of Nasarawa State, had travelled to the FCT to visit family members. On January 21, she reportedly left her family home, telling relatives she was going to a bank in Dei-Dei. She did not return.
According to a report by Sahara Reporters, it was gathered, several hours later, family members received a phone call from a man who identified himself as Esther’s boyfriend, calling from her mobile phone. The caller reportedly told the family that Esther had visited him and that he had bought food for them to eat.
Sources said the man explained that while they were eating, Esther suddenly began vomiting. He claimed that she was rushed to Kubwa General Hospital, where medical personnel confirmed she was dead on arrival.
However, it was further reported that the boyfriend fled the hospital shortly after doctors pronounced her dead. His identity has not yet been established, and he has remained unreachable since the incident.
Confirming the development, the Federal Capital Territory Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, said the police had begun a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding Esther’s death.
“The corpse has been deposited for autopsy to determine the actual cause of death, while efforts are ongoing to arrest the fleeing suspect,” Adeh said.
