The University of Port Harcourt has denied that Cynthia Chukwundah, the lady who allegedly set her lover on fire in the Choba community of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, is a student of the institution.
The police had earlier stated that Chukwundah, reportedly a 300-level undergraduate of UNIPORT, was hospitalised after sustaining burns from the incident.
According to police sources, she is currently under watch at a medical facility and will be interrogated once her condition stabilises.
Reports said the woman allegedly set her 32-year-old lover, Sunny Amadi, ablaze during a domestic dispute.
She is said to be pregnant for the deceased, who later died from the severe injuries sustained in the fire.
However, in a statement issued on Tuesday evening in Port Harcourt, the university’s Head of Information, Publications, and Public Relations, Dr. Sammy Kpenu, clarified that the institution’s records do not show Chukwundah as a student.
The statement, titled “UNIPORT Clarifies Choba Fire Incident: Victim Not a Student,” read, “Following thorough internal checks and verification of our student records, the university wishes to categorically state that Cynthia Chukwundah is not a student of the University of Port Harcourt.”
Kpenu extended the university’s condolences to the families affected and assured the public that UNIPORT is supporting efforts to ensure a proper investigation.
“We deeply regret the loss of life associated with this unfortunate event and express our condolences to the families affected.
“We are also closely following developments and cooperating with the relevant authorities to ensure that the matter is properly investigated,” the statement added.
The university reiterated its commitment to student safety and urged the public and media to verify facts before publication.
“We urge members of the public and media outlets to refrain from spreading unverified information and to allow law enforcement agencies to conduct a full and impartial investigation,” it concluded.
