According to him, Emmanuel, who was a class representative at the mathematics department of the university, died in the evening of the incident due to head injuries he sustained when he fell off the car.

Izam described the development as shocking and a great loss to the institution, given the circumstances surrounding the demise of the student.

“To us as an institution, Emmanuel’s death is shocking and a great loss to us considering the cause of his death. We have been cautioning the students against demonstration and protests, which are not jamborees, yet they keep doing it,” he said.
