The parents of 22-year-old nurse Ginika Judith Okoro, who died under mysterious circumstances at the house of her boyfriend, Charles Ndukwu, in Ezeogba, Awaka, Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo State, have called on the Nigeria Police and state government to uncover the cause of their only daughter’s death.
Mother’s Heartbreak
Speaking to PUNCH Metro on Thursday, the mother of the late nurse, Mrs. Caroline Nneji, expressed her deep grief, stating, “My only daughter died last Sunday when she visited a young man called Charles. My only daughter, who was 22 years old, was raised by us. She has a chemist shop where she treats patients and, as a nurse, she goes to patients’ houses sometimes to treat them. This fateful Sunday, she visited a young man and died in his house.
“My only eye has gone. What sin did I commit that cannot be forgiven?” she wept.
Notification of Death
Recounting how she was informed of her daughter’s death, Mrs. Nneji said, “Around 9 pm on Sunday, the said young man by name Charles Ndukwu came to our house and told us that our daughter was unconscious and he took her to the hospital where the doctor confirmed her dead.”
Step-Father’s Account
According to the nurse’s stepfather, Mr. Nneji, “The suspect, Charles Ndukwu, told us that he went and bought pepper soup for our daughter, but she became unconscious after taking the pepper soup, and he rushed her to Edochie Clinic, Awaka in Owerri North, where she was confirmed dead by the presiding doctor.”
Arrest and Investigation
Our correspondent gathered that Ndukwu had been arrested and remanded by the police for investigation. The bereaved parents, unable to hide their sorrow, have called on the police and state government to thoroughly investigate the matter to uncover the truth behind their daughter’s mysterious death and ensure justice is served.
Family’s Plea for Justice
“All we seek from the police and the state government is a proper investigation for the unravelling of the facts behind our daughter’s mysterious death. It is the truth only that we are seeking, after all, our daughter cannot come back to life again,” they told our correspondent.
Police Assurance

The police are assuring members of the public and the family that they will do everything possible to unravel the cause of the mysterious death of the young girl.”
