A woman who visited the home of former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, has died in his mansion in Potomac, Maryland, United States of America.

The WILL, an online blog, identified the woman as Ms. Chinwe Mazi. Records obtained by the online agency revealed that the Montegomery County Police Department in Maryland, the U.S. confirmed that Ms. Mazi died last Thursday at about 8.48 p.m.

The report said that paramedical and fire service personnel got a distress call from someone who did not identify himself. When they got to the 14900 River Road, Potomac, MD, residence of Orji Kalu, they found Ms. Mazi dead.

The late Ms. Mazi, 47, lived in Hyattsville, Maryland, the U.S. and was once married to Mr. Okechukwu Ogbonna.

It was learnt that the deceased recently returned to the U.S. after a visit to Nigeria. During her stay in Nigeria, her friends and relations believed she was in good health.

A spokesperson of the Montegomery police said: “On Thursday, 19 August, fire rescue personnel responded to a 911 call at 14900 River Road, Potomac, M.D. The call was not made by the female who needed the help. Chinwe Mazi, 47 was pronounced dead at the scene by respondents. The cause of her sudden death is not known. Usually, an autopsy would reveal the cause.”

Reacting to the incident, a source close to Orji Kalu told P.M.NEWS this morning that the woman was not Kalu’s mistress but visited his home in company of other guests at about 9 p.m on the fateful day.

The source said the woman was eating when she suddenly collapsed and died.

He said doctors were called in and after a thorough examination, it was discovered that the woman had suffered from cardiac arrest.

According to our source, the police, who investigated the incident, spent about 8 hours in Kalu’s home but did not suspect any foul play and later left.

On a side note, he has a big house in both Maryland and Houston. Probably built these houses from looted Abian money.

Please note the "at about 9 p.m." (not exactly 9 p.m.) in the report which could mean 8.48 p.m. At least it was said by a source close to Orji (who may not be in the position to know the exact time she visited the house unless he is a working as a guard at the house) not the journalist.

Dead Mistress: Orji Kalu Plans Swift Exit From The US

Orji Kalu, the former Governor of Abia State in whose United States home a Nigerian widow died last Thursday, is anxious to put distance between him and the tragedy. He will heave a sign of relief and head for the airport as soon as Montgomery County police officers certify that his mistress, Chinwe Masi, died of natural causes.

Chinwe, whom he met at a Saks Fifth Avenue while buying wristwatches, died in his Potomac, Maryland, mansion. Montgomery county police detectives said a toxicology test did not reveal any foul play in the death of the widow, who reportedly had a long history of hypertension. She reportedly died after drinking some Guinness Stout at the mansion on that fateful day.

Police say they have obtained a statement from Mr. Kalu and also conducted necessary searches of his mansion to determine if he possesed anything that could have contributed to Chinwe's death.

Soon after depositing Chinwe's body at Baltimore morgue, Kalu traveled discreetly to Charlottesville, North Carolina, to meet with his long-abandoned wife' His mother, Eunice, who is known to have been involved in Kalu's corrupt activities as governor, is also reported to be receiving treatment (in the North Carolina area) for age-related ailments.

Kalu is expected to leave the US tomorrow, Thursday, heading for London if the Montgomery County police give him the magic word by that time.
