Anambra woman killed two days after marriage for burial Thursday

Mrs. Ifeoma Amarachukwu Ochiagha, an Anambra State native, will be buried this Thursday. She was one of the victims of the gunmen’s attack in Nnobi last Monday.

Amarachukwu was struck by a stray bullet last Monday during a standoff between vigilantes and gunmen at Nnobi Junction.

According to ZINGTIE, the commander ordered his soldiers to confront the gang of armed men who were entering Nnewi through the Nnobi community after vigilante operations in the area received information about their presence.

Unfortunately, Amarachukwu and a few other people who were struck by stray bullets were killed in the crossfire, along with the commander, Mr. Eloka Ubajekwe.

The Saturday before the event, Amarachukwu had celebrated her marriage ceremony and was anticipating a life of marital bliss when her life was tragically cut short.

She was only 22 years old when she passed away, according to a funeral ad that her family posted and that her father, Mr. Timothy Ochiagha, signed.

“One of the victims of the Nnobi/Nnewi Monday sit-at-home mayhem will be buried on Thursday,” stated a post made by one of her family.

“Amarachukwu, who got married on Saturday, met her sudden death (unknown gunmen) the following Monday.

“May your gentle soul rest in peace, Nwadiana,” the relative wrote.

There were rumors that the gunmen, who were thought to be separatist forces, were trying to impose the South East’s already-repeated Monday sit-at-home protest.
