SAD: Ebonyi State University Student Found Dead In Her Hostel Room

Lifeless body of female student of
Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki,
Miss Miracle Eze was found unclad
in her hostel room at the Ishieke
campus of the institution.
The deceased, who was in her
second year in the Department of
Mass Communication, hailed from
Nsukka in Enugu State. She was said
to have died mysteriously in her
room.
Her hostel mates found her lifeless
body in her room at Henriv Hostel
the next day when one of them
noticed that she had not come out
of her room later in the day.
On inquiry after knocking on her
door and there was no response,
she found out that it was locked
from inside. According to the
source, the situation attracted the
attention of other students, and the
police who later forced the door
open and found her lifeless body on
her bed.
One of the hostel mates, who did
not want her name in print, told
Daily Sun that the deceased was a
close friend but was not aware that
the deceased (Miracle) was sick,
saying that they were together some
hours earlier on the night she died.
However, she stated that the
deceased had told her of one
Mohammed who had insisted on
dating her, adding that the deceased
cried while telling her about the
man's love advances. She said:
"Miracle cried when she met me in
my room the same night she died
and complained about one
Mohammed, whom, she said, had
been a threat to her life.
She told me that Mohammed's love
advances had been a threat to her
and she could no longer bear to see
Mohammed's face in her room.
"While I was with her, the same
Mohammed came in and she left for
her room.
The following morning as I was
preparing for school, I knocked on
her door but nobody responded. I
thought maybe, she was praying
and I left for my exam." Other
residents of the hostel told Daily Sun
correspondent that they sensed
something was wrong when they
noticed that the girl's door was still
locked from inside until in the
evening when they raised the alarm
and knocked hard on the door but
to no avail.
The students stated that it was when
they called her phone and it rang
but was not picked, that they
peeped through the window and
saw her body on her bed, dead and
unclad. The police at Ishieke later
deposited her corpse in the
mortuary while further investigation
continues.
