Iâm Not Connected With the Dèath of Final Year Student, EBSU Lecturer, Prof. Enyi Speaks Out, Calls for Proper Investigation
Amechi Uneke Enyi, a Professor of English Grammar at the Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki who was accused in a viral social media video by the mother of a student of the university, who allegedly committed suÎcide has said that the dèath of the student was in no way connected to the course he teaches in the university or his person.
A woman who identified herself as the mother of the decèased student, Favour Ugwu, is seen in a viral video cursing out âDr. Enyiâ and Ebonyi State University for being responsible for her daughterâs dèath.
âDr Enyi said he is the best, nobody can teach like him, he should come and carry my daughter who has committed suĂŽcide,â she is seen shouting in the video.
However, speaking to newsmen in Abakaliki, Prof. Enyi stated he is aggrieved for being wrongly accused by the woman in the viral video as the dèath of Ms. Ugwuka has absolutely nothing to do with his course or even academics.
Speaking on the incident the university teacher said:
âIâm Prof A. U. Enyi of the department of English and Literary Studies, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki. It is unfortunate, it is quite unfortunate that the girl ended the way she ended. I was really shocked when I heard the news.
âIt is not true [that her dèath is related to academic issue], I donât see how somebody who was not victĂŽmized, someone who failed an exam will decide to take her own life. So, the first question one should ask in this circumstance should be, was she victimĂŽzedâ
Me, failing or carrying any course over is not a dèath sentence but consistently carrying the same course over for 2-4 times is inhuman considering the economic situation in the country.đ˘đ˘đ˘rip.
