The three female students were identified as Obidiaso Chidera (200 level Political Science), Mercy (200 level Pharmacy) and Emmanuella (200 level Business Administration).

“The students were locked up in the apartment. When we gained access to the apartment, we found them dead with two of them on their beds in the room, while the third was found in the kitchen”, their friends said.

The Public Relations Officer of the institution, Dr Harrison Madubueze, in a statement said: “The university management received with rude shock the news of the death of three of our students. At the moment, the date, time and manner of their death are still uncertain.

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