A 24-year-old student from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), has opened up about how he narrowly survived an off-campus party in Nsukka, Enugu State, where several students are said to have died.
TheNewsGuru reports that four students were found dead in an apartment near the university’s Hilltop area, shortly after finishing their exams on Thursday, 12, 2026.
The survivor, an Art Education student, said he passed out during the gathering and woke up several hours later to find his friends lying motionless on the floor.
He said his friend David organised the party to celebrate finishing his final exams. Around 10 people gathered at the house, sharing two bottles of alcohol, Magic Moment and Best, while playing Truth or Dare.
He explained that one person started vomiting during the party, so he helped them to the toilet and cleaned up the mess. After that, he lost consciousness.
The student stressed that no one used illegal drugs and that alcohol was the only thing they consumed.
He also said that the doors and windows were closed, and a generator was running outside in the corridor.
Speaking about the incident, he said, “This was the first time I took alcohol and experienced such a condition. I think this will be the last time I will ever take alcohol.”
The survivor, who said he was gradually recovering but still had stiffness in his legs, added that the university’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Simon Otuanya, and police officers had visited him
