The University of Ibadan has announced the death of a
100-Level female Law student of the institution.
The student died on Monday during a show at her hall of
residence.
A statement signed by the institution’s Director of Public
Communications, Olatunji Oladejo, said the victim, Miss Effiong Imarbong died
after she jumped from a dangerous position having displayed signs of
restlessness during the show.
The statement said, “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.
“Furthermore, 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.”
The statement added that Imarbong became hyperactive and
developed strange attitude after returning to the hall and 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,” the
statement said.
