University disown students who died from drugs, sex orgy

The management of the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) has disowned the three men found dead and a lady in coma at Sunshine Castle hostel in Umuchima, Ihiagwa community of Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo state last Tuesday.

Odogwubog.com recalled that three men, classified as undergraduate students of FUTO, lost their lives after allegedly consuming cocktails of tramadol, codeine, vodka and India hemp during a sex romp with a lady at a student hostel. The only female participant in the orgy was reportedly unconscious at the Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Owerri. Two reportedly died instantly while the third male died in the hospital with the lady placed on life support.

According to reports, the quartet were found unclad, with one holding a bathing soap in his hand and the other lying on top of the lady.

Reacting to the incident, the FUTO management insists that the victims of the tragic drug binge and sex would not be regarded as students of the institution until its internal investigations were concluded.

FUTO Public Relations Officer, Uche Nwelue, told newsmen that the university was still investigating to ascertain whether they were bonafide students of the school or not.

According to her, FUTO would not claim that the deceased were its students “because our internal investigation is ongoing. For instance, now we have got their names and we are looking to get their registration numbers and if that matches with their names, we will now make official statement.

“Remember that in the lodge where the students lived, there are students of other institutions. That’s why we need to find out if they are actually FUTO students before talking to the press”, Nwelue said.

Meanwhile, the Imo State Police Command has shed more lights on how its operatives recovered two male corpses, Tramadol tablets and Indian hemp from the scene of a group sex at a student house.

According to the Imo State Police Public Relations Officer, Orlando Ikeokwu, the officers also rescued two unconscious persons — a man and a young lady — from the scene. He said preliminary investigation showed that the deceased collapsed and died allegedly while having group sex with a female student.

The Police spokesperson, who gave the names of the dead students as Ugochukwu and Uche (other names withheld), said the incident happened at Sunshine Lodge located at Ihiagwa, near FUTO and that the students were suspected to have used sex-enhancing drugs for the exercise.

According to him, the Police operatives who evacuated the corpses and took two others to hospital also recovered substances suspected to be Indian hemp and Tramadol from the scene of the incident.

The Police spokesperson said, “On April 2, information was received from the caretaker of Sunshine Lodge in Ihiagwa, Owerri, that students at Federal University of Technology, Owerri — Ugochukwu, Richard, and Uche, 27 — were engaged in a sex romp with one Onyinyechi (surname withheld), also a student at the same university.
