Miss Miracle Eze, a 25-year-old Mass Communication student of Ebonyi State University (EBSU), has been found dead in her room at Ishieke campus of the university.
Miss Miracle, a 200 Level student was found lying faced down and naked by the men of Nigeria Police Force, Ishieke Division, following a report by other students living in the same Henriv Lodge wih her.
It was gathered that she had returned to the hostel at night to prepare for her General Studies (GST) examination slated for the day she was found dead (Tuesay, July 9).
But the door and windows were locked from the inside till Wednesday night when friends started looking for her after she failed to turn up to take the examination. When the police finally broke open her iron door, the only thing found around her decomposing naked body which laid motionless on the floor were the GST text and exercise books she used while reading.
It was also discovered, when the police tried to cover her naked body, that she was burnt on the stomach; fueling suspicion that she might have died of electrocution.
Miss Miracle who hailed from Nsukka, in Enugu State, according to sources in the hostel, returned to the hostel crying uncontrollably and intimated one of her female friends that she was being stalked by a male student, simply identified with the alias “Alhaji” who had allegedly been demanding to have a love affair with her, but she reportedly declined because she had a fiancé who had already gone to her family for formal introduction.
It was further gathered that while she was still explaining the issue to her friend, the said Alhaji called her phone number and she was instructed not to answer the call. Later in the evening, the said Alhaji allegedly visited her and left, after which the ugly incident occurred.
Meanwhile, Miracle’s corpse has since been moved to the Federal Teaching Hospital Abakaliki (FETHA) mortuary.
The Ebonyi State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Sylvester Igbo confirmed the incident to our reporter, adding that for now the police were still investigating the matter to be sure that the girl died of natural causes or otherwise.
