A-19-year old teenager, City Stanley from Owa-Alero, Agbor, Delta State has been declared missing.

City Stanley

 The whereabouts of the missing young chap Ika weekly gathered had remained a mystery. He was said to have flee out his community because he was depressed and deprived of justice.
 A closed family source disclosed that City Stanley on the 10th of July, 2013 while driving home on a car from the market and on a rainy day along the New Lagos/Asaba Road, Agbor hit a  20-year-old girl named, Joy and killed her on the spot. Our source said because the deceased was the only daughter of her parent, Mr. and Mrs. Tony Oshadi, the matter got out of hands following the demand that he (City Stanley) have to marry Joy and fulfill all rituals demanded before her remains could be laid to rest.

Late Joy

 Among the unholy demand for late Joy’s burial rituals by her family was that City Stanley had to sleep with her corpse and drink the water used to wash her dead body for seven days. The demand according to our source was what forced City Stanley to flee out of his community, even as late Joy’s family has rejected the plea and compensation over the loss. 
 Meanwhile, many people who heard the matter  described the Oshadi’s family demand over the death of their daughter as barbaric and wickedness of the highest order, wondering where such tradition and culture could have originated from.
 All efforts made by our reporter to speak with late Joy’s father, Mr. Tony Oshadi were fruitless as he was said to have declined interview.
