Neighbours became worried when she neither came out of her room nor responded to repeated calls.

 

The neighbours then forced their way into her room after several unsuccessful attempts to reach her, only to discover her lifeless body with her head nearly decapitated.

 

The door to the room was still firmly locked with the key, a source told Punch. Meanwhile, the victim’s mobile phone was nowhere to be found.

 

Sources in the community said the victim, who hailed from Ngwa in Abia State, had completed her midwifery programme and was undergoing post-basic training at the institution.
