Gathered reports suggest that the married woman was reportedly set ablaze by her husband per her friend who took to social media to mourn her demise.

 

Ebere had traveled for her mother’s funeral rites, according to her friend, but had returned home without her bag. She stated to her husband that she planned to travel again soon and didn’t think it was necessary to bring her possessions back with her.
