Two lovers have been found dead in their one room apartment at Uvwie in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.
They were identified as Emmanuel Oshiotu, 33 and Amaka Okafor, 25.
They were found dead at their apartment located at 2, Ojigbo Crescent, Off Sapele-Effurun road.
Though detail of the ugly incident was unclear but an insecticide, popularly called “sniper” and a knife, sources said, were found besides their bodies.
The suicide suspicion, as gathered, was reportedly further reinforced by Emmanuel’s post on his Facebook timeline on Wednesday suggesting some frustration.
Residents said Emmanuel was heard screaming for help early in the morning, adding that on breaking into his room, he was found foaming from his mouth, while his lover’s body laid a few distance from him.
Sources in the community said that the lovers were rushed to the Central Hospital, Warri, where they were both confirmed dead and bodies later deposited in the morgue.
The Divisional Police Officer of A Division, Warri, CSP Muktari Bello and his officers were sighted inspecting the bodies at the morgue.
The Delta State Police Command’s acting Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Edafe Bright, confirmed the incident to journalists.
