A woman identified as Wendo has sparked widespread reactions after an unusual incident involving her family and local residents.
According to reports, Wendo allegedly asked someone to inform her relatives that she had died and that her body was lying in a mortuary.
Acting on the information, her family reportedly travelled to the named mortuary to confirm the tragic news.
However, upon arrival, they found no record of her admission or any such body. Confused and alarmed, they decided to return to her residence to verify the situation.
To their surprise, they found Wendo alive at her home. Witnesses say she appeared calm and unbothered, which angered those who had rushed to mourn her. The situation quickly escalated, with locals confronting her over the false alarm that had caused emotional distress and unnecessary travel.
During the confrontation, a video circulating online shows Wendo being punished by a group of people. At one point, she reportedly paused and said she had not eaten, a moment that drew mixed reactions from viewers online.
The incident has triggered debate, with many criticizing the act of spreading false death reports, while others condemned the mob response and called for lawful handling of such cases.
Authorities have not yet issued an official statement, but the case has raised concerns about misinformation, public reaction, and the need for restraint when dealing with disputes.
