22-year-old woman collapses and d!es at workplace in Umuahia
A 22-year-old woman, Christiana Innocent, has tragically d!ed after reportedly collapsing while at work in Umuahia, Abia State.
According to MC Mallam Ji, a presenter at Vision Africa Radio (104.1 FM), Christiana slumped on Wednesday night, November 6, 2025, during her shift but allegedly did not receive immediate medical attention.
Her grieving mother, Mrs. Chidinma Uwalaka who lost her husband 15 years ago recounted the painful incident, saying her daughter had only complained of a mild stomach ulcer earlier but showed no signs of any serious health condition before her sudden collapse.
“I spoke with her yesterday afternoon, and she said she was fine,” Mrs. Uwalaka recounted amid tears. “But early this morning around 7 a.m., the chef at her workplace called to say my daughter fell down last night. I asked, ‘Since last night, una no fit rush am go hospital?’ They just kept quiet.”
According to the grieving mother, the management of the event centre only contacted the family hours later to come and retrieve her daughter’s body.
Christiana’s elder brother, Onyemaechi David Innocent, who rushed to the scene, conveyed her on a motorcycle to Our Ladies Hospital, Olokoro, where doctors confirmed she was already dead on arrival.
“They said she was sick all through the night, but nobody helped her. They didn’t take her to the hospital. Even when they called us, nobody followed my son to try and save her. They just waited until she d!ed,” Mrs. Uwalaka lamented.
Family members described the deceased as a hardworking, humble, and God-fearing young woman who had worked at the company for only two months.
“My daughter went to work healthy. I just want to know what happened to her. She didn’t deserve to d!e like this,” her mother added.
