The president of the Students’ Union of IMSU, Arinze Oguike, confirmed the development to our correspondent on Sunday.

He informed that the corpse of the law undergraduate was found in the morgue of Umuguma General Hospital, Owerri, on Sunday.

He said that the students stormed the mortuary and the attendant told them that the corpse was allegedly deposited by the management of St Joseph Hospital, Wetheral, Owerri.
