The lifeless body of Ezinne, a student of the Department of Anatomy, was found on Sunday in her apartment after she was not seen in her church.

Ezinne's friends and family attempted to reach her on the phone but a voice prompt repeated that her mobile line was not reachable.

One Chisom Onyedikachi said that they were concerned that she and other friends and family could not reach Ezinne by Monday morning.

Worried for her safety and well-being, her brother Stephen and some of her friends embarked on a journey to her residence in Enugu.

It was learnt that when they arrived there by Monday afternoon, peering through her window, they found Ezinne and a male friend, who happened to be her coursemate, lying on the floor.

Overwhelmed by shock and disbelief, Stephen tried to access the apartment but was advised by neighbours to involve the police before any further action would be taken.

The local authorities were summoned, and the victims were taken to the hospital.

On arrival at the hospital, Ezinne was pronounced dead, while her male friend whose identity was yet to ascertained was revived.
