200-Level UNIPORT female student found dead in her room
The University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) has confirmed that its student Adaeze was found dead in her apartment.
Adaeze, a 200-level undergraduate of accounting, was found lying lifeless in her residence at Aluu, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Dean of student affairs Chima Wokocha said the lifeless body of the student was brought to a health facility in the school by some of her neighbours.
Wokocha said the management of the institution and the police had visited the scene of the incident, adding that the parents of the late female undergraduate had also been notified of the incident.
He stated, “Her body was brought to the Chief Lulu-Brigss Health Centre by people who live around her in her lodge.
“She didn’t die in the university hostel. She died in her off-campus residence in Aluu and 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 that was found by her side.
“The parents have come there and I think they are making arrangements to take the body.”
This comes barely two weeks after the decomposing body of a 300-level undergraduate of biochemistry, Justina Otuene, allegedly killed by her ex-lover, a UNIPORT student as well,.Damian Okoligwe, was found in the latter’s residence along NTA Road, Ozuoba in Obio/Akpor LGA.
