A musician, Chika Ofor, died mysteriously on Saturday in Umuahia, Abia State, on the eve of a burial ceremony.
Ofor was said to have slumped on his band’s stage on Friday night, some minutes after coming up to perform at a wake-keep event.
He was reportedly taken to his car but was found dead inside the vehicle on Saturday morning.
It was not clear if Ofor was suffering from any major health challenges before his death. However, there were allegations on social media that he may have been poisoned.
The body of the late singer was evacuated by his kinsmen from Bende community and taken to a mortuary.
According to Daily Post, it is unclear if the matter was reported to the police or if the corpse was taken to the hospital for further medical examination.
