Seven students of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) are feared dead after a house party that was reportedly held to celebrate the completion of their studies. The incident took place last night in the Hilltop area of Nsukka, where the students, who are said to be pharmacy graduates, gathered for a sign‑out celebration.
Details about what caused the tragedy remain unclear, and the identities of the victims have not yet been confirmed. The death toll is still unverified, with authorities and the university awaiting further information.
UNN’s Acting Public Relations Officer, Mr Inya Agha Egwu, has said that management will issue an official statement. In a message to journalists on Thursday morning, Egwu wrote:
Good morning, colleagues. Those calling in connection with the incident that happened last night should please hold on. We will issue an official statement on the matter soon. Thank you.
