Tragedy has reportedly struck the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), following the deaths of some final-year Pharmacy students after a house party at End in Praise Lodge, Hilltop, near the university.
The deceased students, who reportedly completed their final academic activities and signed out on Tuesday, had spent about six years pursuing their Pharmacy degrees at the institution.
According to reports circulating online, the students attended a house party on Tuesday night, where they allegedly consumed a mixture of hard drugs and alcohol.
The victims reportedly began collapsing around midnight after taking the substances. However, their bodies were not discovered until Wednesday night when a neighbour allegedly knocked on the host’s door but received no response.
The door was subsequently forced open, leading to the discovery of the victims’ bodies.
Meanwhile, one female student is reportedly receiving medical attention in a hospital. Unverified information circulating online claims that medical tests indicated a drug overdose in her system.
Although initial reports suggested possible poisoning, other accounts have attributed the incident to the alleged consumption of hard drugs and alcohol.
However, the actual circumstances surrounding the deaths, including the cause of death, have yet to be officially established by the relevant authorities.
The tragic incident has sparked concern and renewed discussions about the dangers associated with substance abuse, particularly the potentially fatal consequences of combining alcohol with certain drugs.
