residence.

distress call from a resident of the area.
It was, however, gathered that the woman was recovered dead at about 11pm.
Her grandson was said to be marking his birthday in the Igando area on the fateful day.
A resident told PUNCH Metro

brought a package of food prepared during the ceremony for her mother.

in person, but sent someone else to take the food to her.
