“Preliminary investigation revealed that the deceased, Okenyi Favour Oluchukwu, was a first-year student enrolled in our Department of Medical Laboratory Science.
“The University administration is deeply saddened by the loss of our student and extends heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased for the tragic death of such a promising young student.
“The management is collaborating with security agencies and the family of the deceased to uncover the circumstances surrounding her death and prevent any potential recurrence of such incidents in the future.
“We implore anyone in possession of useful information that could aid in the investigation to kindly reach out to the University administration.”
