One Dies, 20 Hospitalised After Meal At Traditional Marriage by Islie: 7:40am On Sep 25, 2015

From Aloysius Attah, Onitsha

A 13-year-old primary school pupil has been confirmed dead, while 20 others are battling for life in different hospitals in Enugu-Ezike in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State, after eating at a traditional marriage ceremony last weekend.

Trouble started after the traditional marriage of Obiageli (surname witheld) when her in-laws departed to their hometown, Nrobo in Nsukka Council area. About 30 people, who ate the soup prepared for the entertainment of guests, were said to have started complaining of serious stomach upset.
Things got worse around 3 am, when many guests began stooling and vomiting blood, causing pandemonium among the villagers.

The girl, who was at the wedding, reportedly gave up the ghost before medical assistance could be sought, while others were rushed to different hospitals in Aji and Ogrute communities.
One of the in-laws to the family of the newly married woman, Emmanuel Odo nwa Urama a.k.a Ite ego, who narrated what happened to Daily Sun, stated that contrary to the earlier report that six people died after taking pork served in the home of the celebrant, only one person has been confirmed dead. He stated that he also ate the pork without any sign of trouble.

Odo, however, stated that three of his children who ate the soup were affected, adding that there was strong suspicion that the soup was poisoned.
He confirmed that the bride, Obiageli, returned from her husband’s home the next morning with swollen legs and other complications, but her situation was being handled with traditional and orthodox medicines.

According to him, the bride’s family has vowed to get to the root of the matter by any possible means so as to ascertain what actually happened.
Other victims who were said to be recovering in the hospital included uncle of the newly married girl, Anthony, his wife, Ijeoma and children.

Another reason why I don't eat public food at. Ceremonies.

A bottle of drink is okay for me if I am forced to take anything.

Some people on this Nairaland are recipe for this kind of misfortune. They querell and grudge over food when they attend ceremonies.

God preserve innocent souls

One reason I almost do not attend weddings of any kind. It most likely is a case of food poisoning.

Condolences to the parents of the deceased.

Too much ill news coming out of the East, West, South and North of the country. It's like wickedness is really having a field day in Nigeria. Well I wont stop saying these lines of the Lords prayer

"Lead us not into temptation.

there was a traditional wedding in my area last year..the groom is a very rich man and also known to be a cultist ( ogboni ). The bride's parents died same day of the wedding due to food poisoning. But the rumour is the man killed them for rituals.
