Woman Died In Edo State Found Alive In Aba (Shocking)

For many who know her, Mercy (real name withheld) from an Edo State community had long been dead and buried by her kinsmen. Butstrangely and miraculously, she is still very much alive.

The story of Mercy is one wrapped up in mystery…


Before the mid ‘90s, the tall, dark and beautiful lady was living a normal and healthy live in a community in Edo State, where she was said to be involved in a business with which she took care of herself and members of her family.

Mercy, as she is now named, was said to have at times travel to Onitsha, Anambra State to purchase some goods which she sold at home. Loved by all, she was reportedly leading a happy and fulfilled life.

But one day, according to a report by a female relation, who pleaded anonymity and equally refused to give the name of their community for fear of people projecting them in bad light, Mercy got missing from her home.

According to the lady, there was confusion in their community as Mercy who was not used to traveling except on business trips, which she did not embark on at that time, could not been seen for days.

Confusion then made way for apprehension. Having waited for days and yet their daughter could not be found, leaders and youths of the community set out to look for her.

First, the police in the area were alerted on the search for the lady and they swiftly spread their dragnet to see if they could get a clue of Mercy’s whereabouts, but all yielded no fruits.

Having been satisfied that finding Mercy was beyond the police, the community decided to look for her in their own way.

But the result was the same, there was no trace of their daughter anywhere and they left her case to fate, believing that one day she would come home alive on her own. But that was not to be.

In Mercy’s community tradition forbids a missing person to be presumed dead until after a stipulated time if he or she was not found.

Within this window of time allowed by tradition, there was still high hopes that Mercy would come back home alive. But as this period elapsed without Mercy being found, the community went into mourning because their daughter had by the dictates of tradition died.

So, burial rites were reportedly performed. Although her body was not found, but as far as the community was concerned, Mercy was dead and buried and her name on the community’s register marked with red ink.

But years after, in 2014 to be precise, something happened. Mercy who had long been ‘buried’ in her community in Edo State was found roaming the streets of Aba as a mad woman.
