Protest has erupted on the University of Calabar (UNICAL) campus, after an ailing student died due to alleged negligence.
A 300-level student UNICAL, Agidi, identified as Precious Mhenuter died following a brief illness.
It was gathered that the 22-year-old fell ill at her hostel on Saturday morning, January 28, and was rushed to the school’s medical center for treatment.
However, she was allegedly left unattended to for hours until she eventually gave up the ghost.
According to an eyewitness:
“Precious got sick this morning by 4am and we rushed her to our school’s medical center.
We got there by 5am and they asked us go and buy card for N200 but we couldn’t get the card because the people at record weren’t around. So they didn’t attend to her. They left her even as she was in pains.
She eventually died at 7am, two hours after we got there. And they took her to the mortuary at about 8am, without even contacting her parents.”
The unfortunate incident angered students who took to the street to demand justice for their colleague. See video of students protesting below:
