Woman Dies While Giving Testimony In Church On New Year’s Day

Tragedy struck in Umuogwuta, Ndegwu, Owerri West
local council area of Imo State, as a lady who was
giving her testimony during the New Year service
suddenly collapsed and died.
A villager, who spoke to Vanguard on ground of
anonymity, said: "The Lagos-based lady, Ifeoma
Anozie, collapsed and died while giving her
testimony inside Saint John's Anglican Church,
Ndegwu."
Vanguard also gathered that Ifeoma returned to her
country home not to only give testimony about her
achievements in the passing year, but also felicitate
with her kith and kin.
"The lady had hardly commenced her testimony
when she suddenly slumped and died in front of the
officiating cleric and left the congregation
completely perplexed," the villager said.
Speaking also on the issue, a woman who simply
identified herself as Felicia, lamented that what
ordinarily should have been a double celebration for
the Anozie family suddenly turned sour.
"The church service was designed to be a double
celebration for the Anozie family. It, however, turned
out to be a tragedy for the family, the church and
Ndegwu community," Felicia lamented.
Other villagers that also spoke to Vanguard, said
ifeoma was a very promising young lady but none
could guess she would die untimely.
Although Vanguard could not ascertain the cause of
death at press time, as no member of the immediate
family could be reached for comments.
However, the remains of the lady had been deposited
in an undisclosed hospital morgue.
