 Ifeoma returned to her country home to felicitate with her kith and kin.

 A villager, who spoke on ground of anonymity, said: “The Lagos-based lady, Ifeoma Anozie, collapsed and died while giving her testimony inside Saint John’s Anglican Church, Ndegwu.”

 “The lady had hardly commenced her testimony when she suddenly slumped and died in front of the officiating cleric and left the congregation completely perplexed,” the villager said.

 Speaking also on the issue, a woman who simply identified herself as Felicia, lamented that what ordinarily should have been a double celebration for the Anozie family suddenly turned sour.

Felicia lamented. Other villagers that also spoke, said ifeoma was a very promising young lady but none could guess she would die untimely.
