Miss Mbah Ezinne, a final-year student of Enugu State University of Science and Technology, ESUTH, was on Sunday found dead in her room.
The body of Ezinne, a student of the Department of Anatomy, was found on Sunday in her apartment.
SaharaReporters reports that as service began in the church, Ezinne’s friends and family attempted to reach her via mobile phone that was not reachable.
One Chisom Onyedikachi told the platform that when she and other friends and family could not reach Ezinne by Monday morning, they became worried.
Her brother, Stephen and some of her friends began a search for her in 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 course mate, 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.
He is still battling to survive in the hospital, the report claims.
