A tragic incident occurred at the Lagos State University of Science and Technology on Saturday when newly admitted student Emmanuel Nweke accidentally fell from a two-story building located in the Ikorodu area of the state.

The incident occurred around 4:00pm on the balcony of Emmanuel Nweke's apartment, located at Lasunwon First Gate, a neighborhood largely inhabited by students.

Devastated colleagues revealed that Emmanuel Nweke, a 100-level mathematics student, had ventured onto the first-floor balcony corridor to get some fresh air due to a lengthy power outage, moments before the tragic incident occurred.

As Nweke reached the corridor, he leaned against the balcony railing, but unfortunately lost his balance and tumbled from the dilapidated building, striking his head on the ground upon impact.

Community sources disclosed that Emmanuel Nweke, who was from Anambra State, succumbed to his injuries before his colleagues could rush him to the nearby general hospital for medical attention.

Following the incident, the entire building was sealed off to prevent any further accidents. Meanwhile, the landlord of the building was promptly arrested and taken into custody by police operatives from the Ikorodu Police Division, located on Sagamu Road, opposite Wema Bank in Ikorodu.
