Nwome lamented, “Favour, my close friend and classmate in the English Department, faced relentless opposition from the aforementioned lecturer, who vowed to obstruct her graduation. Her relentless struggle with depression, coupled with the disappointments, drove her to take this tragic step. I wish she hadn’t resorted to such extreme measures. Rest in peace, Ugwuka Favour, until we meet again.”

Confirming the incident, DSP Joshua Ukandu, the spokesperson of the Ebonyi Police Command, acknowledged that the matter had been reported to headquarters, indicating the severity of the situation.
