Five days after he went missing, Kingsley Chiwueze, a 300-level law student of Imo state University has been found dead.
Chiwueze, who hailed from Oguta Local Government Area was declared missing on Monday after his family made unsuccessful efforts to reach him.
The deceased had made his intention known to vie for the office of senate president of the National Association of Imo State Students two weeks ago.
It was not immediately clear if his death is linked to his quest to run for the office.
Arinze Oguike, the president of IMSU Students’ Union of IMSU, who confirmed the development, said the corpse of the law undergraduate was found in the morgue of Umuguma General Hospital, Owerri, on Sunday.
He said that the students stormed the mortuary and the attendant told them that the corpse was allegedly deposited by the management of St Joseph Hospital, Wetheral, Owerri.
He said: “The attendant told us that his corpse was brought by people from St Joseph hospital, Whetheral. We will go to the hospital to find out how they took custody of the student.
