Abstract

This mixed methods study examined oath-taking and resolution of issues of death accusations in Ebonyi State Nigeria. One hundred and eighty adults who had experienced death in the family participated; 84 completed a questionnaire, 48 were interviewed, and 48 others participated in focus group discussions. The participants were selected using a snowballing sampling technique. It was found that some participants believed that some deaths cannot be natural. Suspicious deaths often led to accusations. This study provides a cultural perspective to understanding causes of death and is expected to guide community leaders in addressing the issue of death within their areas.
