What looked like a normal rice meal has resulted in the death of three sisters in Akwa Ibom State.
Police are indeed working on whether or not it was poisoning.
The sisters identified as Uduak Obong, 30; Blessing Obong, 18; and Uduak Obong 7; who all resided at Obio Etoi, near Nest of Champion International Stadium, were said to have eaten rice together before their death.
According to a statement by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Odiko Macdon, preliminary investigation has indicated that the three ate rice before going to bed the previous night of the incident.
The statement read, “The Command has removed the lifeless bodies and commenced investigation on the cause of death of the three sisters.
