The Anambra State University, Uli, on Thursday disowned one of the suspects in the murder of Cynthia Osokogu, who claimed to be an Accountancy student of the institution.
Osokogu, a post-graduate student of Nasarawa State University, Keffi, and daughter of retired Maj.-Gen. Frank Osokogu, was allegedly killed by Okwuoma Nwabufo and his cousin, Odera Ilechukwu, on July 21.
The suspects had said that they were both accounting students of University of Lagos and Anambra State University respectively.
However, Ilechukwu’s claim was rebuffed by Mr Festus Ntomchukwu, the Public Relations Officer of Anambra State University, Uli, in a chat with newsmen in Awka.
The image maker said “such a character cannot be a student of the institution.
“The school is still in session, and if truly the suspect is a student of the university as he claimed, he will not be out in Lagos when the institution is seriously preparing for examinations,” Ntomchukwu posited.
He further argued that the school of management sciences where accounting department fell into was currently holding an international conference, in which every student was expected to attend, and in their uniform.
“For such a character to have been away in Lagos when the school is preparing for examinations and members of his faculty preparing for a compulsory international conference, he should be disregard,” he said. (NAN)
