Nigeria: Family of Nigerian engineer pleads gov’t help after mysterious death in Myanmar
By Zuleihat Owuiye, Mamos Nigeria
November 3, 2025 — The Okeadu family of Imo State is desperate for answers after their 33-year-old son, Obinna Okeadu, reportedly died in Myanmar under suspicious circumstances. The engineer from Mbano traveled to the Southeast Asian country in August for a factory job that later proved to be a scam.
Obinna’s family hasn’t heard from him since arriving in Myanmar.
Unconfirmed sources in the same location claims Obinna was held captive, unable to communicate.
Other trapped Nigerians allege he was injected with toxins, beaten, and possibly had organs removed.
“We want clarity,” said Obinna’s brother, Okechukwu. “What happened to our son? We urge the Nigerian government, Foreign Affairs, NiDCOM, and international agencies to investigate.”
“This isn’t just about Obinna,” the family stressed. “Other Nigerians could be trapped in similar ‘death camps’. Authorities in Nigeria have issued no statement.
