Maylyn Ibe, a 24-year-old mother, passed away on October 6, 2026, leaving behind her one-year-old twins, Lotanna and Munachi. Taking to Facebook on November 10, the burial day, her sister Ucheoma Ibe publicly blamed the deceased woman's husband, Emeka, for her demise.
Ucheoma shared a video of her sister Maylyn carrying her twin daughter alongside a photo of Maylyn's funeral poster. In the caption, she wrote: 'Chi, it's today my dearest sister, today I would be saying goodbye to you but will never be forever. My heart has experienced one of the most drastic changes for the past 1 month. It's only God's grace that I haven't battled a heart attack. I always prepared you to cope when I've embarked on this journey. Never did I imagine you would embark before me. Your departure has changed a lot in me, I have truly come to understand how cruel and wicked this world is. My only prayer is that God should have mercy on you and give you a peace rest. Knowing that you are at peace would only make my heart feel better. I would continue the race till it's my time to unite with you forever. Please guide me on how to take care of the family better, how to look after your 1 year old twins Lotanna and munachi. Everything you would have done for them, I am taking charge to do double. Pressure Emeka to release them for me. As for Emeka, your husband, I don't know if I would ever forgive him. He made me lose the most priceless human I have... I am broken more than words. Please visit me in my dreams, I love you till Jesus comes my dearest Sister.'
