www.odogwublog.com reports that there is not only tension but confusion at Benue state University Makurdi as Medical Students of the University, deposited the coffin of their dead colleague Idoko Nicholas Inalegwu at the office of the Vice-Chancellor in protest.
The deceased, Inalegwu, died in controversial circumstances after receiving the news of his withdrawal after spending 10 years in medical school.
Idoko was withdrawn for failing a re-sit.
A student, who spoke to one of our correspondents on telephone on condition of anonymity, said they believed that Idoko took his life because he could not bear the news that his 10 years in medical was in vain.
“He had been talking about it; that he wished he died a painless death; that the school had finished him. There is nowhere in the world that a medical student is withdrawn after spending 10 years,” he said.
The student said the students had complained about the manner in which examinations were conducted, where re-sits were prolonged for up to one year, as against the stipulated six weeks, with no efforts to engage the students.
The students, after an altercation at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital mortuary, obtained the coffin of their dead colleague and marched to the VC’s office, vowing not to leave until their grievances were resolved.
All efforts to reach the Vice-Chancellor, Mrs. Charity Angya, for comments proved abortive as she neither picked several calls made to her mobile phone nor responded to a text message sent to her as of the time of filling this report.
