University management suspends student union activities over the death of fresh man.

8th September 2023

A hundred level student of the Rivers State University has reportedly died during the school’s jeans carnival.

 According to an eye witness, the student was sitting on the window side of a vehicle during the jeans carnival when he lost his balance and fell.

He was rushed to the hospital, but died from his injuries.

But the parents of the deceased, whose identity is yet to be ascertained, suspect foul play.

The deceased mum in a video was seen crying and calling on the authority of the school to carry out a thorough investigation into her son’s death.

Following the move, the management of the school ordered for the immediate suspension of the 2023 SUG week.

The registrar of the university, Dr. Sydney Enyindah announced the suspension of other activities marking the student’s week in an internal memo obtained by our correspondent in Port Harcourt.

The memo states “ following the unfortunate and sad incident which occurred during the jeans carnival on Tuesday 5th September 2023, resulting in the death of a student, the management of the university has directed the immediate suspension of the remaining activities of the student union week.”
