She was kidnapped in Onitsha, and after several days, the kidnappers reached out to the family for ransom, but she was found dead shortly after.

There are suspicions that she may have recognised the kidnappers, leading them to eliminate her to avoid being exposed. The family is devastated by the loss.”
