“Professor Amechi Enyi Denies Involvement in Ebonyi Student’s Suicide Amid Threats from Deceased’s Relatives”
Professor Amechi Enyi of Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, has refuted any connection to the tragic death of Miss Favour Ugwuka, who recently took her own life. Enyi, a lecturer in the Department of English Language, revealed that he had been threatened by the deceased’s relatives on multiple occasions prior to the incident.
Speaking to journalists in Abakaliki, Enyi addressed the allegations, particularly those made by a woman claiming to be the mother of the deceased student in a viral video. He emphasized that Ugwuka’s death was not linked to academic issues and questioned why someone who hadn’t faced victimization would resort to suicide over an exam failure.
Enyi recounted his interaction with the student’s mother, stating that she accused him of unfairly targeting her daughter after she failed his course. However, he asserted that the examination process is governed by university rules and that any grievances should be addressed through proper channels, not through threats or intimidation.
Despite the challenges he has faced, Enyi remains firm in his denial of involvement and his commitment to the university’s procedures for handling academic matters.
