Missing 300-Level Law Student Found In Imo Hospital Mortuary

A student of Imo State University (IMSU), Owerri, Kingsley
Chiwueze, has been found dead, five days after he went missing.

Chiwueze, a 300-level law student, was declared missing on
Monday and his phone lines were switched off.

He was said to be actively involved in student union politics,
and two weeks ago declared his intention to run for senate
president of National Association of Imo State Students
(NAISS).

President, Student Union Government of IMSU, Arinze Oguike, who
confirmed the development yesterday, said Chiwueze’s body was found
in the morgue of Umuguma General Hospital, Owerri.

He said the hospital attendant told students who stormed the
mortuary that the body was deposited there by officials of a
private hospital, in Owerri.

The student leader said, “The attendant told us that his body
was brought by people from a private hospital on Whetheral Road. We
will go to the hospital to find out how they took custody of the
student’s body,” he said.

One Darlington Ibekwe, said, “Kingsley hailed from the Oguta
Local Government Area. Kingsley was declared missing on Monday and
was just found; it happened that he was one of the victims of the
shooting on Douglas Road and the most painful thing about all of
this is the fact that the state government’s media handlers have
come out to say that no life was lost to the security
challenges.

“When Divine, an IMSU student, was shot dead last week, someone
called her irresponsible and asked what a girl would be doing
outside by that time.”

When contacted, the IMSU spokesman, Ralph Njokuobi, said he
would communicate with the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Peter Akah, about
the discovery.

The police spokesman for the state, Orlando Ikeokwu, said that
he had not been briefed about the latest development.
