The Delta State Police Command has arrested a man and his second wife following the tragic and mysterious deaths of three sisters in Oruhworun, Udu Local Government Area.
The sisters had visited their father’s home at the Delta Steel Company (DSC) Township, but were discovered dead under suspicious circumstances.
The girls, who lived separately from their father after the death of their mother, had returned to his residence after attending a birthday party.
The following morning, they were found foaming at the mouth, prompting concerns from the community. This shocking incident has left locals reeling, especially since it occurred less than a year after their mother’s passing.

This tragedy has sent waves of disbelief through the community, as questions about what happened continue to swirl.
Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Edafe Bright, confirmed the incident, stating, “We are treating this as a suspicious death and are exploring all angles. The public will be updated as we make progress.”
