The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) has condemned the tragic killing of a guest, Mr. Chiebonam Nweze, during a students’ social event on its campus last Friday.
The incident occurred on September 12, 2025, at a bonfire night organised by the Department of Archaeology and Heritage Studies.
According to the university management, the event was infiltrated by miscreants from a neighboring community, who caused violence that led to the fatal stabbing.
Despite efforts to save him, Nweze was confirmed dead before he could receive medical attention at the university’s medical centre.
In a statement on Monday, UNN’s Acting Public Relations Officer, Inya Agha Egwu, clarified that neither the deceased nor the attackers were students of the institution.
He added that the university’s security unit, in collaboration with the Anti-Cult Unit of the Nigeria Police, had apprehended all those responsible for the killing.
