The woman was found with her upper garment removed, and got discovered in the early hours of Tuesday. A local villager, speaking anonymously, mentioned that the body showed no signs of blood stains, making the cause of death unclear. "It happened in the morning of Tuesday. The woman was killed and dumped in the bush along Amaraku-Umudim Road. She was pregnant and was stripped naked of her upper wear. But the confusing thing is that she did not sustain any blood stain as to link her death to assassins or gunmen. We are yet to find out exactly what led to her death."

Henry Okoye, spokesperson for the Imo State Police Command, stated that he had not yet been briefed on the incident but promised to provide more information as it becomes available.
