Chikomba – Noah Kagodo (43), the head of Unyetu Primary School in Chikomba, tragically passed away on Friday due to suspected food poisoning. He had complained of stomach discomfort after consuming food at the Independence Day celebrations the previous day.
Kagodo’s wife, Judith Kudzanai Chikudo, confirmed the tragic news by saying that while her husband passed away from stomach problems, there was no postmortem examination performed, thus she was unable to rule out food poisoning from the celebrations.
