Seven students of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) are feared dead following a house party reportedly organised to celebrate the completion of their studies.

The incident allegedly occurred last night in the Hilltop area of Nsukka, where the students, said to be Pharmacy graduates, gathered for a sign-out celebration.

The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, while the identities of the victims and the actual death toll are 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.”
