He was found hanging in his room.

Sources said that the late Daniel returned back to the lodge with his mother about seven days ago and he took his life two days after his mum left the residence.

It was also gathered the deceased was initially facing some health challenges and going through pains.

Reacting, the varsity’s Public Relations Officer, Uche Nwaelue, confirmed that the deceased was a first-year student of the institution and wondered why an 18- year- old would take his life.

“Somebody brought the picture to me though I have not visited the scene I wonder why an 18year old person would take his life, this is an end time,” she said.

Also, confirming the report, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Orlando Ikeokwu SP, said that the deceased has been taken to the mortuary.

“I can confirm the report to be true. It happened and the body has been taken to the mortuary,” he said.
