The Chief Safety Officer at Nnamdi Azikwe University, Awka, Anambra State, has said it would investigate the incident which claimed the life of one of its students (name withheld).
Tragedy had struck late Thursday at a private lodge near Royal Kitchen Junction, Ifite-Awka, in the Awka South Local Government Area of the state when the male student jumped from a three-storey building and died.
It was gathered that the student jumped off the balcony of the building located near the school after he had allegedly consumed some unknown substances suspected to be “mkpurummiri” (crystal meth).
According to eyewitnesses near the scene, after the victim fell to the ground, all efforts to bring him back to life proved abortive, as he was later confirmed dead in a nearby hospital where he was rushed to. (Punch)
