From Okey Sampson, Umuahia
A man who should be in his late 60s on Wednesday collapsed and died along Lagos Street in Umuahia, the Abia State capital.

He was said to be walking along the street when he suddenly slumped at about 5pm.

“Anyone whose relative bears such a name as Ndukwe Kalu Kalu should go to CPS Umuahia for detailed information on where he is being kept”, he said when contacted.
