The University of Port Harcourt, says a final year female student, Gloria Adeleye who recently passed on, did not die on campus as earlier reported.
Gloria, a 500-level student of the Department of Animal Science, was said to have slumped and died on Tuesday, at her residence.
Spokesperson of the institution, Charles Kpenu who in a statement yesterday, confirmed the death of Miss Gloria said the news circulating on social media platforms that she died on campus, is fake.
He stated that the lady who had earlier reported that the deceased died on campus, has apologized because it caused a lot of controversy.
“So, from what we heard, she just slumped and by the time she was rushed to hospital, she was pronounced dead. So, it wasn’t anything that had to do with Uniport community.” he added.
“…The lady, who put up the post that she died in school, has already apologised to the department, because it caused a lot of problems. The student (deceased) had left the school almost a week ago and was in her family house…,” Mr Kpenu, added.
