Three Female Students Of Odumegwu Ojukwu University Found Dead

Three female students of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), have been found dead at the Igbariam campus of the school.

The victims, who were all in their second year, were identified as Chidera Obidiaso, from the political science department, Mercy, from the pharmacy department, and Emmanuella, from the business administration department.

The cause of the death was yet to be ascertained as their door was said to have been locked from inside.

Eyewitnesses said two of the students were found on their bed, while the third was found in the kitchen of the apartment when their door was found open.

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the institution, Mr Harrison Madubueze said the death of the students came as a shock to the school authorities.

“At the moment, the date, time and manner of their death are still uncertain,” he said.

“However, the security operatives are investigating the matter and at the appropriate time, they will make the findings public,” Mr Madubueze stated.

The spokesperson said the university management was not aware that some of their students in the second-year class and above were still within the university environment.

“This is because the institution closed on Wednesday, 24 August 2022, after the second-semester examination and will resume on 1st October 2022,” he said.
