A tragic incident at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), has left students in shock after a student reportedly fell from a storey building while attempting to flee from the police.
The news surfaced on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where a video capturing the aftermath of the incident was shared. According to reports, after the fatal fall, the police allegedly placed the student’s body in the back seat of their vehicle before driving away. Several other individuals at the scene were also reportedly arrested.

• @DaddyJeeHoe: “The fear Nigerian police instill in youths is too much. Imagine fearing those who are supposed to protect us.”
• @badablestarlove: “Omoh, the evil in the world is too much. This is heartbreaking.”
• @mrcleanthing: “What was he running from? The police shouldn’t be blamed.”
• @SFM101_: “What exactly are the police, EFCC, and NDLEA doing raiding student hostels without warning?”
• @kingkhone4real: “Why take such an extreme measure to escape? If you’re innocent, don’t run. Rest in peace.”
• @saintzeez: “What were they searching for in a school hostel? People acting surprised like they don’t know Nigerian police.”
• @FredMorgan29671: “No security officer—police, soldier, or army—should make me run if I’m innocent. Why risk your life when most cases end at the police station?”
