A tragic incident occurred involving a student from Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka, who took his own life by jumping from the third floor of a building. The event transpired around 8:00 PM on a Thursday at a lodge located near the Royal Kitchen junction, close to the university’s main entrance in Awka, Anambra State.

According to Residents, he jumped from the building, which resulted in a severe injury. Neighbors reported hearing a loud noise and rushed outside, where they found the young man lying on the ground, unresponsive and surrounded by blood.

Emergency services were immediately called, and the student was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

According to Resident when narrating the incident, the student consumed a drug called MKPURUMMIRI before the event. This substance is known for causing hallucinations and has been linked to aggressive actions in some cases. Later investigations found out that his roommate was also impacted by the same drug, found in a state of confusion and disorientation in their room.

The authorities have detained the roommate for further questioning, but he will only be interrogated once he has stabilized. Officials are taking a careful approach to deliver the devastating news, considering the circumstances. Meanwhile, efforts are being made to inform the family of the deceased about the tragic loss.
