A sign-out celebration organised by students of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, has reportedly ended in tragedy, with seven students feared dead.
The victims, said to be Pharmacy graduates, were attending a house party in the Hilltop area of Nsukka to celebrate the completion of their studies when the incident occurred.
The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, while the identities of the victims and the actual death toll are yet to be officially confirmed.

In a message to journalists on Thursday morning, Egwu said: “Good morning, colleagues. Those calling in connection with the incident that happened last night should please hold on. We will issue an official statement on the matter soon. Thank you.”
