A young lady suspected to be a student of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu State, has reportedly died after being pushed by yet-to-be-identified persons in a hotel within the Enugu metropolis.
The Students Union President of the University, Enok Utazi, who confirmed the incident to our correspondent in a telephone conversation on Thursday, noted that the studentship of the victim had yet to be ascertained.
He added that though there were reports that the victim was a student, efforts were ongoing to verify the claim while stating that the SUG had involved the police on the matter.
He said, “I learnt about the incident and we have been trying to verify the studentship of the lady. We cannot ascertain claims that she is a student. The police are involved in the matter and are investigating to unravel it.
“As a union, we are committed to serving the student populace without discrimination for religion, tribe or gender, and we are very much committed to their safety.”
PUNCH Metro gathered from sources on social media that the victim, identified as Favour Eze, had gone to the hotel with some persons who allegedly pushed her from the balcony.
This happened barely a few days after one 100 level student reportedly died in a drainage.
