The Anambra State Police Command has appealed for public cooperation in its efforts to unravel the circumstances  surrounding the body  of a pregnant woman found hanging on a cashew tree in Ideani, Idemili North Local Government Area of the State.

The body of the woman was discovered on Monday May 5, 2025, dangling on the tree along Uke/Ideani Road  in development. A possible suicide is being suspected.

But the Police are not persuaded by the suicide theory.

The State Commissioner for Police, Ikioye Orutugo, fears that it might not be unconnected with a classical case of murder, disguised as suicide.

Specifically, the  Police urged residents of Ideani to lead in providing credible intelligence that could assist in unmasking the killers of the woman, as well as bringing them to justice.

“CP Orutugu called on stakeholders ,and community leaders of Iveani ,Idemili North to assist with information to unravel the perpetrators of the suspected murder of a pregnant lady found hanging on a cashew tree along Uke/Ideani Road.

“The CP described the incident as unfortunate and a stark example of man’s inhumanity to man and ordered a thorough investigation into the incident to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice.”
