Four Reportedly Die After Gathering at Off-Campus Lodge Near UNN

Four people have reportedly died following a gathering at an off-campus lodge in the Hilltop area of Nsukka, near the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu State.

The incident reportedly happened after a gathering at the lodge, with graphic videos later circulating on social media and triggering widespread reactions.

However, the Pharmaceutical Association of Nigerian Students, UNN Chapter, has dismissed reports claiming that seven Pharmacy students died in the incident.

In a statement issued on Thursday and signed by its President, Onah Olisaemeka, and Secretary-General, Obasi Chibuike V., the association said there was no confirmed report of any Pharmacy student among the victims.

Olisaemeka said he personally visited Faith Foundation Hospital, where the bodies of four victims, comprising two males and two females, were deposited, adding that he did not recognise any of them as Pharmacy students.

The association also disclosed that two people hospitalised after the incident were popular UNN social media personalities known as Rymez and Golden, who are recognised for street vlogging and dance content.
