The body of a female uniport student identified as Adaeze was found in her apartment at Aluu community in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The deceased who was a 200-level accounting student is said to have lived off-campus which is located behind the school's main campus.
This discovery comes barely two weeks after the body of a 300-level student of Biochemistry named Justina Otuene who was reportedly killed by her boyfriend Damian in his residence along NTA Road, Ozuoba community in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the state.
Reacting to the latest incident, the Dean of Student Affairs, UNIPORT, Professor Chima Wokocha revealed that the body of the deceased was found in her residence and brought to the health facility in the school by some of her neighbours.
He added that "her body was brought to the Chief Lulu-Briggs Health Centre by neighbours in her lodge."
"She did not die in the university hostel. She died in her residence off-campus in Aluu and the scene of the crime was visited by the management of the university, including my humble self," Wokocha added.
The Dean further noted that the police also visited the scene of the incident and subsequently informed the parents of the deceased.
“The police were there with us also. We acknowledge the fact that she had taken a substance and passed out because there was a bottle of a substance that was found by her side,” Wokocha said.
