The woman after showing signs of the dreaded disease was reportedly rejected in her husband's village, which made her to go to her village in Ndio- lumbe in the same Isiala Ngwa South Local Government.

Report has it that after sever- al attempts were made to save the woman's life by her im- mediate family failed; she was orstracised and later died near the popular Ndiolumbe market.

It was gathered that when the news of her death filtered into the area, members of the community and many shop owners around the area were forced to close for business and vacated the area for their safety.
