The people of Umuezealaegbe Umuduru in Isiala Mbano LGA of Imo State woke up Tuesday morning 25th October 2011 to a bizarre spectacle of the lifeless body of their 25 years old man, Mr. Adindu Ezeala dangling on a tree branch downhill the stream side.

According to family sources, Adindu’s disappearance from home was noticed a day before, but was not taken seriously since his motorcycle was properly parked in its usual place. But when night came and he did not return, a search party comprising mainly the youth of the village swung into action and combed all nook and crannies of the community and beyond, but he was nowhere to be found all night long. But when the search team returned in the morning to freshen up preparatory to another round of search, a younger brother to the deceased strolled to the back of their compound downhill to ease himself where he saw Adindu’s lifeless body hanging on a tree branch and raised an alarm.



Speaking with the Announcer Express, Mr. Lawrence Ezeala father of the deceased, disclosed that late Adindu worked at laterite sand depot Umuduru, describing him as taciturn and industrious, the grief-stricken father regretted that his late son died when his life was sweetest to him as the family had prepared to accompany him (the deceased) to his prospective in-laws next Thursday, four days before the incident, for the traditional marriage rites of his fiancée at Lokpa in Abia State.
He further spoke of how the late Adindu had, before embarking on the self-sent journey to eternity, left on a table in his room the sum of one hundred thousand naira ear-marked for the fiancées dowry; His motorcycle keys and bank note were there on the table too.



The absence of a suicide note, however, provided an avenue for wide speculations as to the reason for the seeming suicide. While some people suspect that he might have tested positive to the dreaded HIV as he might have been asked by his in-laws to prevent a HIV-clean bill as part of the requirements for the marriage rite; others hold the opinion that it was the spiritual manipulation of evil people as could be inferred from the proverbial exclamation of an elderly kinsman who said, “when a young man gathers more firewood than his mates, he is often accused of picking them from the evil forest” for others suicide should be ruled out as the deceased had things going in his favour and never knew frustration.



However, a team of policemen from Isiala Mbano Divisional Headquarters inspected the hanging dead body shortly before it burial in accordance with appropriate tradition of the land.
