A woman in Ebonyi State has died after being stung by a scorpion on her way back from her friend’s funeral.
According to reports, Chinyere Mbam of Enyi Igwe village, Ezzainyimagu community of Izzi Local Government Area of the state, was stung by a scorpion while trekking home from the wake-keep of a friend, Oge Ogashi.
The victim was said to have been rushed to a traditional healing home for treatment but did not respond to any of the treatments administered on her.
She was thereafter taken to her house where she was said to have given up the ghost after more treatments given her failed to yield any fruit.
An uncle of the deceased, Ishiali Ikwe, who narrated the ordeal, said: “My sister was returning home after her late friend’s wake-keep when something stung her foot. She said she later saw a big scorpion when she looked down at the cause of the pain but was unable to kill it as the pain was so serious.
“So she was rushed to a place in our village for traditional treatment. She didn’t respond to all the treatment given to her and she was later rushed back home where she died.”
