As at the time of their death, they were said to be 200 Level students of the university.
The cause of their death is yet to be ascertained.
There are claims that they were locked up in the apartment.
While two of them were found on their bed, another one was found in the kitchen.
The management of the institution, in a statement released by institution Public Relations Officer, Dr. Harrison Madubueze, “The university management received with rude shock the news of the death of three of our students. At the moment, the date, time and manner of their death are still uncertain.
“In addition, the University is not in anyway, aware that any of her students in second-year class and above are still within the university environment because the institution closed on Wednesday 24th August 2022 after the second semester examination and will resume on October 1st, 2022.”
“It was a surprise to the University Management that some students were still hanging around for reasons best known to them.
“At the moment, we only have students from the College of Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing Sciences, Medical Laboratory and the first year students who are to start their Second Semester Examinations in October.
“However, the security operatives are investigating the matter and at the appropriate time, they will make the findings public.”
