By Barth Ugwu,  Enugu

Enugu State University of Science and Technology, ESUT has been thrown into mourning following the discovery of the lifeless body of a final-year student of the institution, Mbah Ezinne, in her room.

The lifeless body of Ezinne, a student of the Department of Anatomy, was found on Sunday in her apartment following concerns raised by her friends and Church members after she was not seen in the Church.

Ezinne’s friends, Church members, and family became concerned after she was not seen in the Church and had frantically tried to contact her through her mobile phone to no avail.

Worried about the inability to reach their daughter,  Ezinne’s family members and some of her friends stormed her school apartment on Monday morning and peered through the widow only to find Ezinne and her male companion who was later identified as her coursemate lying on the floor.

Shocked by the gory sight, her brother who led the family on the trip promptly got police permission to break open the apartment whereupon the duo were rushed to the hospital.

Ezinne was pronounced dead upon arrival while her male companion whose name could not be ascertained at press time was revived and now battling for life.

Meanwhile, some of the acquaintances of the late Ezinne have expressed sorrow at her demise.

In a Facebook comment, Ede Njideka said: “She’s from my village, Umueze Awkunanaw. She’s not a bad girl… Very decent girl.

Suggesting that Ezinne and her male coursemate were victims of orchestrated murder,  another commentator who simply goes by the name,  Splendid Visuals, said:  “They weren’t involved in anything bad, injuries were found on their bodies and they were locked from outside the house. They aren’t dating, I know them”

And according to Ajah Nneka,  “She was industrious and a very nice girl. Only God knows what happened to her, I was so shocked when I heard of her demise.
