Amam Blessing Chinasa, a final year student in the Department of Theatre Arts, Imo State University, has been found dead alongside her lover, Emeka, in her hostel.
The residents of Umudagu-Mbieri in Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo state were left in total shock after a final year student of the Imo State University, Blessing Amam, was on Monday found dead alongside her lover, identified as Emeka in her hostel.

According to a report by Southern City News for PUNCH, the deceased final year student in the Department of Theatre Arts, who was expected to graduate in August, slept in her hostel room with her lover on Sunday but both of them could not wake up the next day (Monday).

While speaking to a correspondent, a neighbour said it was the smell from the deceased room that alerted other occupants who had returned from school that something was wrong.

She said, “The students came back from school and started inhaling very offensive smell and on inquiry, it was discovered that it was from Blessing Amam’s room.

“Her flat mates called her but she did not respond. The door was forcefully opened and behold, Blessing and her lover were found dead. There were blood stains and marks on their bodies. Blood equally gushed out from their mouths and nostrils.”

The source, who expressed worry over the circumstances that could have led to the death of the suspected lovers, maintained that the deceased were full of life the night before, adding that there was no indication that they were in any trouble or distress in the room that night.

A correspondent who visited the hostel, noticed that nobody including the security guards was seen, as the whole compound including the street was deserted, and was told that the students had fled because they did not want to be arrested by the police.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Andrew Enwerem, who confirmed the incident said, “It was a case of sudden and unnatural death.”
