RESIDENTSOF Alibuoba Quarters in Agbor, Ika South Local Council of Delta State have been thrown into mourning over the death of a middle- aged woman inside a gutter.

The lifeless body of the deceased was found inside the gully measuring over 50 feet deep and 30 feet wide along the Universal Basic Education ( UBE) Road, beside Agbor Technical College.
