Autopsy carried out on the corpse of one Faith Aigbe, who was found dead in the Enogie of Uroho, Enogie Ogieriakhi’s car on September 10, exonerated the traditional ruler of any complicity in the death of the eight-month pregnant woman.
Edo State Police command on Wednesday released the autopsy of the late Aigbe, whose corpse was allegedly abandoned in the Toyota Lexus 330, belonging to Enogie Ogieriakhi, at the premises of the Edo Specialist Hospital.
