Paschal Ike, a former seminarian, who was reportedly missing in Imilike community, in Udenu Local Government Area of Enugu State, has been found dead.
Ike was reportedly last seen on Wednesday, October 11, 2023 but his dead body was discovered on Saturday at Alor Uno, Nsukka Local Government Area of the state.
It was learnt that there was actually heavy rainfall in Nsukka on Thursday just two days before his body was found, leading to speculations that he could have been killed by flooding.
“Paschal left home about three days ago and did not return. He was unofficially declared missing until his dead body was washed up by flooding in Alor Uno community,” a family source was quoted as saying.
“Already, his remains which have been evacuated, were deposited at the Bishop Shanahan Hospital at Nsukka Local Government Area of the state.
“The matter has already been reported to the police and we are expecting the police to conclude investigations on the circumstances surrounding his death.”
Ike was said to be finding life difficult since he was frustrated out of the seminary some years back.
