A fresh graduate of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Ifunanya Miracle, aka Bliss, has died while trying to escape a student prankster who stagged a robbery on the premises of the school in the Awka area of Anambra State.
Ifunanya, a recent graduate of the Department of Quantity Surveying was in a tricycle with a friend identified simply as Peace, a student in the Department of Pure and Industrial Chemistry, when they encountered a “robber” in the vehicle.
They jumped out of the bus to escape and Ifunanya hit her head on the pavement, resulting in her untimely death.
Peace sustained injuries and was rushed to the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital for treatment.
Ifunanya started a Point-of-Sale (POS) business on the school premises while studying at the institution. She continued even after graduation.
She was said to have closed her business for the day on Sunday, June 9, 2024, and boarded a tricycle along with Peace.
During the trip, a passenger who sat beside them allegedly attempted to rob them of their valuables.
To escape the robbery, the two students jumped out of the moving tricycle.
A student of the school who chose not to be named said: “Miracle just graduated from the university and does a Point-of-Sale operation in the school. The incident happened around 7 pm on June 9, 2024. She does her PoS business at the front of my residence.
“She usually packed her business stuff under the staircase in our compound and the stuff is still there. She packed it and put it back there in the evening. But all of a sudden, we just heard that she was dead.
