100 Level Law Student Of The University Of Ibadan Commits Suicide

The management of the University of Ibadan has
announced the death of a 100 Level female Law
student who died on Monday during a show at
the Queen Elizabeth II hall.

The Institution’s Director of Public
Communications, Olatunji Oladejo, in a statement
said the victim, Miss Effiong Imarbong died after
she jumped from a dangerous position having
displayed signs of restlessness during the show.

The statement read,
“It is with deep regret that the management
of the University of Ibadan announces the
sudden death of Miss Effiong Deborah
Imarbong, a 100 Level student in our Faculty
of Law on Monday, May 1, 2017 at the
University College Hospital, Ibadan.
Her sudden death, however, remains a
mystery. It is in the light of the above that
the university management wishes to state
that the cause(s) of her death are still being
investigated by the appropriate authorities.

Moreover, her parents had been duly
contacted by the relevant key officers of the
university on the loss.

It is pertinent to state that by the tradition of
the Queen Elizabeth II Hall where she was a
resident, an event tagged ‘Freshers/Finalists’
Week’ was organised by the hall’s Executive
Council.

Her colleagues reported that the deceased
was seen at the hall cafeteria, the venue of
the movie show. It was reported that she
was seen at about 8.40pm. Thereafter, she
received a telephone call from a fellow; she
left the venue of the movie show to meet the
caller. The fellow had been identified after
her death by the Campus Security Service.”
According to the statement, Imarbong became
hyperactive and showed a strange attitude after
returning to the hall and then left the venue after
a wild dance.

“It was further revealed that she left the
venue of the movie show and, thereafter,
there was a bang, which her colleagues
explained, as she jumped from a dangerous
position in the Hall. She was later found by
her colleagues in a seemingly helpless
condition in the precinct of the hall,”
Oladejo said the deceased was rushed to the
University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan where
effort to safe her life proved futile.
