Woman Found Dead Inside Church Toilet In Calabar

The body of a woman, Blessing Ayebe, has been found in a church toilet in Calabar, the Cross River State capital.

Ayebe reportedly attended a service at the Presbyterian Church, Ikot Ansa Parish, on June 28 but did not return home.

According to family sources, her lifeless body was discovered in the church toilet around 9 p.m. on June 29.

Her daughter, Peace Minka Ayebe, reported the incident at the Federal Housing Police Station after being informed by her brother, Saviour Ayebe.

The body was later deposited at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH) mortuary for preservation and autopsy.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, ASP Eitokpah Sunday Akata, confirmed the incident, saying preliminary examination of the body showed no visible signs of violence.

He said no suspect had been identified or arrested as of Sunday, as investigators had yet to establish any evidence of foul play.

“The investigation is ongoing, and further developments will be communicated as they unfold,” Akata said.
