The lifeless body of a student of the Department of Anatomy, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Miss Mbah Ezinne, has been found in her apartment.
The body of Ezinne, a final-year student of the university was found on Sunday after she was not seen in her church.
It was learnt that as service began in the church, Ezinne’s friends and family attempted to reach her on the phone but a voice prompt repeated that her mobile line was not reachable.
One Chisom Onyedikachi told SaharaReporters that when she and other friends and family could not reach Ezinne by Monday morning, they were concerned.
Worried for her safety and well-being, her brother Stephen and some of her friends embarked on a journey to her residence in Enugu.
It was learnt that when they arrived there on Monday afternoon, peering through her window, they found Ezinne and a male friend, who happened to be her coursemate, lying on the floor.
Overwhelmed by shock and disbelief, Stephen tried to access the apartment but was advised by neighbours to involve the police before any further action would be taken.
The local authorities were summoned, and the victims were taken to the hospital.
On arrival at the hospital, Ezinne was pronounced dead, while her male friend whose identity was yet to be ascertained was revived.
It was learnt that he was still battling for life in the hospital on Tuesday morning.
