Abia: Five Members of a Family Found Dead in Osisioma Home


The Abia State Police Command has launched an investigation into the mysterious deaths of five members of the same family whose decomposing bodies were discovered in their residence at Umuimo village, Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area, on Wednesday, July 22, 2026.


The victims have been identified as Mr. Kachi Nnabugwu, his wife Mrs. Chinaza Nnabugwu, and their three young children. According to neighbors, the family had not been seen outside their home since Sunday. After repeated attempts to reach them failed, concerned neighbors and community members forced open the locked house, only to discover the five bodies inside.


Items reportedly found in the building included containers of leftover food and a generator set. The decomposing state of the corpses suggested they had been dead for several days.


On Wednesday, the bodies were evacuated from the compound and moved to a mortuary for preservation and autopsy. Residents in the area have called on the government to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the actual cause of death.


Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer for Abia State, DSP Maureen Chinaka, said the Osisioma Divisional Police Headquarters was alerted on July 22 by the brother of the deceased.


“Yes, the attention of the Osisioma Divisional Police Headquarters was drawn to the incident on 22/07/2026 by the brother of the deceased who reported that after being unable to reach Kachi Nnabugwu, they proceeded to his residence at Umuimo Village, Osisioma LGA,” DSP Chinaka stated.


“Upon arrival, repeated knocks yielded no response. They subsequently forced entry into the house, where they discovered the lifeless and decomposing bodies of their brother and his family.


“The crime scene has been visited. A preliminary visual inspection of the bodies was conducted, and photographs taken. The corpses have been deposited at the morgue for preservation and autopsy,” she added.
