Seven students of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), are feared dead following a house party said to have been organised to celebrate the completion of their academic programmes.

The tragic incident is said to have occurred last night in the Hilltop area of Nsukka, where the students, reportedly Pharmacy graduates, had gathered for a sign-out party to mark the end of their studies.

Details surrounding the incident remain sketchy, as the circumstances leading to the alleged deaths have yet to be established.

The identities of the victims, as well as the actual number of casualties, are also yet to be officially confirmed.

However, the university’s Acting Public Relations Officer, Mr Inya Agha Egwu, has assured that management would issue an official statement.

In a message to journalists on Thursday morning, Egwu said: “Good morning, colleagues. Those calling in connection with the incident that happened last night should please hold on. We will issue an official statement on the matter soon. Thank you.”
