The Students of Microbiology Department of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) Awka, Anambra State, South East Nigeria, were thrown into deep shock and mourning on Monday, as they received the sad news of the death of their 300-level colleague, Tochi Martins Attah, who reportedly slumped and died while playing campus football.
It was gathered that the sad incident took place at the Elmada Hostel premises in Awka.
The deceased, fondly known among his peers as T-Funds, was the younger brother to Dr. Simon Attah, the incumbent chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State.
It was also learnt that the late student had recently made a switch from Microbiology to a medical course before his untimely death.
As at the time of filling this report the UNIZIK management was yet to make any official statement on the unfortunate development, just as the Anambra state police public Relations officer PPRO, SP, Tochukwu Ikenga’s cell phone could not go through.
Meanwhile, President of Useh Youths, Engr. Sabastine Aku, confirmed the incident in a statement on behalf of the Attah family and the deceased community.
The statement expressed deep sorrow over the loss and called for prayers and support for the grieving family.
