In honour of the victims, Prof. Ajienka said that the university decided to suspend its students’ union week, which was to have commenced yesterday. The university instead declared a seven-day mourning period, which would end on Sunday. However, the university would still be in session during the period marked for mourning.

He said the three deceased persons confirmed to be students of the university were Biringa Lordson, a year two Theatre Arts student; Ugonna Obuzor, a year two Geology student and Mike Toku, a year two Civil Engineering student.

However, the vice chancellor could not confirm if the fourth person, Tekena Erikena, killed alongside the other three was also a student of the university. He said efforts were still on to confirm that.

He was flanked by principal officers of the university during the press briefing.
