Slain Poly Student: Imo Students Leadership blows hot

The National President of National Union of Imo State Students (NUISS), Comrade Kasarachi Philipa Mbachu has described the death of Anthony Chinweotito Emmanuel, a student of Federal Polytechnic Nekede, as most unfortunate.

Anthony was a year one student of Department of Building Technology. He died on Saturday following the injury he sustained when the caretaker of Ezinwanne lodge hit him on Tuesday.

NUISS leadership in reacting to the incident stated that the information received was that “the caretaker had told the deceased to renew his rent but he pleaded for more time to settle his bill which led to misunderstanding between the duo as the caretaker was alleged to have hit Anthony on the head with a wooden stick.

“Anthony collapsed on the spot and was rushed to Federal Medical Center (FMC) Owerri by some of the NUISS members where he was receiving medical attention until he was confirmed dead.”

The NUISS President said, “Imo students are calling for justice for the deceased.”

She further revealed that the police was alerted through the NUISS legal adviser and the caretaker is currently in police custody. She added that NUISS will follow the matter up till justice takes its course.
