A University of Port Harcourt 200-level female student was discovered lifeless in her off-campus apartment in Aluu, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The student, known as Adaeze, was pursuing her studies in the Faculty of Social Sciences, focusing on accounting.
Prof. Chima Wokocha, the Dean of Student Affairs at UNIPORT, confirmed the tragic discovery.
He stated, “Her body was brought to the Chief Lulu-Brigss Health Centre by people who live around her in her lodge.”
Wokocha emphasized that the student did not pass away in the university hostel but in her off-campus residence in Aluu.
He added, “The scene of the crime was visited by the management of the university, including my humble self. The police were there with us also. We acknowledge the fact that she had taken a substance and passed out because there was a bottle of a substance found by her side.”
According to a source who pleaded for anonymity, her lifeless body was found on Friday within her off-campus dwelling, alongside an unidentified bottle of substance.
The grieving parents of the deceased student have arrived, and arrangements are being made to handle her remains.
