Reprieve has come for the Enogie of Uroho Community of Edo State, Ogieriakhi, as the autopsy carried out on the corpse of one Faith Aigbe, who was found dead in the Enogie’s car in September 10, exonerated the traditional ruler of any complicity in the death of the eight-month pregnant woman.
The Edo State Police Command on Wednesday released the autopsy of the late Aigbe, whose corpse was allegedly abandoned in the Toyota Lexus 330, belonging to Enogie Ogieriakhi, at the premises of the Edo Specialist Hospital.
While the Enogie handed himself over to the police, claiming that the late Aigbe, his girlfriend, was eight months pregnant but was forced to abort the pregnancy by her relations, who were opposed to the relationship, Aigbe’s family members denied that their daughter was ever pregnant, but was murdered by the Enogie.
The Edo Police Command immediately arrested the Enogie and had him detained, while the Command called for an autopsy to determine the actual cause of death.
The Command’s spokesman, Bello Kontongs, in a statement said: “Today September 22, 2021, the Edo State Police Command wishes to inform the public that the autopsy of one Faith Aigbe who died in the house of his boyfriend, Enogie of Uroho, Iguodala Ogieriakhi.
