The community of Oji River is in mourning following the tragic discovery of a pregnant woman, identified as Joy Miracle, whose body was found in a pit at the residence of a suspected ritualist in Ezeagu.
Joy, a well-known food vendor and single mother of two, had been missing for several days. Her disappearance sent shockwaves through the community, prompting concerns and search efforts. The situation took a grim turn when police, acting on intelligence, raided the home of a native doctor named Ezeani, alleged to be the leader of a ritualist cult operating in the area. During the operation, Joy's lifeless body was discovered in a pit within the premises.
Further investigations revealed that Joy had recently suffered the loss of her husband in a fuel tanker explosion, leaving her to care for their two children alone. It's believed that she was lured to the native doctor's residence by a man who posed as her boyfriend. This individual, who operates a barbing salon in Oji River, allegedly deceived her into seeking help from Ezeani under the guise of resolving personal issues. He is currently in custody as authorities continue to unravel the circumstances surrounding Joy's death.
The Enugu State Police Command has assured the public of a thorough investigation to bring all perpetrators to justice. The community, meanwhile, grapples with the loss of a beloved member and the unsettling implications of ritualistic practices in their midst.
