An autopsy has revealed that the corps member Ifeoma Stella Abugu who died in police custody was strangled to death.
The police who were on illegal operation stumbled into the house of Ifeoma’s fiance, Mr Afam Ugwunwa in Abuja on the 20th of September 2020.
On not seeing the suspect, they quickly arrested his fiance who was on a visit and she died in their custody the next day.

The court has also advised that her body should be released to the family for burial.
