Ebonyi varsity student found dead in hostel
A final-year student at Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, identified as Favour Ugwuka, has reportedly taken her own life. Miss Favour was found in her hostel at the Ishieke Campus of the university in Abakaliki, the state capital.
Investigations revealed that despite passing all her courses, Favour had been struggling with one particular course.
It was reported that the lecturer of that course had made it clear that Favour would never pass.
A somber video circulating online shows a woman believed to be Favour’s mother holding the lecturer responsible for her daughter’s tragic decision.
According to the woman, who was seen lamenting in the video, “Dr Enyi said he is the best, that nobody can teach like him. He should come and carry my daughter who has committed suicide.”

Also, a graduate of the institution who identified himself as Rex Nwome claimed that the girl committed suicide because she had been failing the particular course repeatedly.
He said, “Favour was my classmate and a best friend to me in the English Department. The above-mentioned lecturer did vow never to allow Favour to graduate.
“You could imagine where she later passed all the courses except that lecturer’s that, she had to pay another extra year tuition fee to rewrite.
“Unfortunately the man failed her again. What resulted in this intense depression is the latest NYSC names that were recently shortlisted, and her name wasn’t there.”
He added, “The girl suffered a lot of depression because she was only left wandering about the EBSU seeking help. She was very desperate to graduate and serve. This and many more of the disgusting stories resulted in this suicide mission.
“I wish she didn’t go this far to end her life. R. I. P Ugwuka Favour till we meet to part no more.”
The Ebonyi State Police Command the confirmed the incident, on Thursday.
