Three Female Students Found Dead In Anambra Varsity Hostel

There was confusion at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, in Anambra State on Saturday after three undergraduate students were found dead in their hostel.

The institution, Naija News learnt, had closed its last session on Wednesday, August 24, 2022, after the completion of its second-semester examination.

The school management, however, said it was shocking to learn about the untimely death of the undergraduate students.

Reports said the female students, all in their 200-level, were found dead inside their hostel rooms at the Igbariam campus of the varsity.

A source at the institution confirmed the identity of the students as Obidiaso Chidera (200-level Political Science student), Mercy (200-level Pharmacy student), and Emmanuella (200-level Business Administration).

It is yet unclear what led to their death but security operatives and the school authorities are on their toes to unravel the mystery behind the sad incident.

There are suspicions, however, that the deceased might have mistakenly locked themselves up in their room from outside.
