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 usthat
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 our
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.
