TRAGEDY struck on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, as a middle aged woman whose identity could not be ascertained collapsed and died inside a toilet at Mile 3 Motor Park in Diobu, Port Harcourt,Rivers State, minutes after entering the restroom.
Pentoks News gathered that the officials incharge of the public toilet became anxious when the woman who paid to use the toilet did not come out after several minutes she entered the toilet.
Further reports said that the officials went and knocked the door, but there was no response which prompted them to force the toilet door open and found the woman dead.
The Chairman of the Mile 3 Park toilet,Chigozie Amadi, confirmed the incident to journalists.
He said: “Yes, the incident is true.We do not know the woman.We are still looking for a way to connect to the deceased woman’s family. We have reported to the Nkpolu Police Division,the Police are here now.“
However, as at 5:59pm on Tuesday when the source visited the scene, Police officers and officials from Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA), Rivers state are making effort to evacuate the corpse to the mortuary.
