Two 200-level students of the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU), identified simply as Decency and Victor, have been found dead in their room.
It was gathered that the corpses of the students were discovered after their neighbors broke into their room.
The victims reportedly sent a motorcyclist to buy food for them and were found dead the following morning after eating the food.
Victor was said to have vomited blood while Decency was said to have had a white substance in his nose, fueling speculations they may be victims of food poisoning.
The PRO of MOUAU, Adanma Odefa who confirmed the incident, said; “We don’t know anything about eating food and the bike man. All we know is that we found two students dead in their rooms, that is we know. I don’t know where you are getting the eating of food and the bike man story; I don’t even have this information.”
Asked if there has been any medical report on the cause of their death, Odefa said; “The police have taken their bodies to the morgue and anything left is for the parents of the deceased. We have informed the families, so we are not talking about this.”
Before his death, Decency was the incumbent Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Students Union Government (SUG) and was seeking re-election for the post.
