Mrs. Egbon, a teacher, was the third woman in one month to die during child birth at Elepete, causing residents to worry.

Since her death at the Ikorodu General Hospital on June 4, many residents have resorted to fasting and prayer, while others have taken to sacrifices in a bid to appease the gods of the community to stop further deaths of pregnant women.

While some residents attributed the deaths to the electrocution of an electrician simply identified as Lucky, a father of five, while fixing a faulty electrical pole in the community, others put the blame on bad roads and unavailability of hospitals in the community.

Residents said Lucky’s sudden death, while working for the community, might be responsible for the deaths, saying they had offered sacrifices to appease his spirit to no avail.
