Tragedy struck at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology when a final-year student Miss Mbah Ezinne was found dead in her room.
Ezinne, a student of the Department of Anatomy, was not seen in her church which prompted her friends to call her but her number was not reachable.
One Chisom Onyedikachi said she and other friends and family could not reach Ezinne by Monday morning, they were concerned, according SaharaReporters.
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 by 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 ascertained was revived.
He is still battling for life in the hospital, SaharaReporters was told on Tuesday morning.
