The father of Christiana Idowu, a promising 18-year-old student brutally murdered by her friend in 2024, is calling on Nigerians and the authorities to demand justice. Nearly a year after her death, he says he’s received no updates on the case, despite the suspect’s confession and arrest. In a viral trending VIDEO spotted by myschoolnews.

Nearly one year after the chilling murder of 18-year-old Christiana Idowu, a 300-level student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), her grieving father is still seeking justice. In a heartbreaking video that surfaced recently, Mr. Idowu revealed that he remains in the dark about the legal proceedings against her killer 23-year-old Ayomide Adeleye, a philosophy student of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), who confessed to the crime.

Christiana was lured, strangled, and buried in a shallow grave in Ikorodu after Ayomide deceived her under the pretense of helping fix her phone. He later demanded ransom from her mother, using the money for personal expenses. Despite his arrest and confession, Mr. Idowu says the silence from authorities is deafening.

EducationUNN Bans Social Events After 6PM Following Fatal Stabbing Incident On Campus by Msntv(op):
The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), has officially banned all social and entertainment activities on campus extending beyond 6:00 p.m., following the tragic death of Enugu-based auto dealer, Michael Nweze, popularly known as PowerAutos.



The decision, announced in a statement by the university management on Monday, comes in response to the violent clash that erupted during a student-hosted bonfire event, which led to Nweze being fatally stabbed.

According to earlier reports by Myschoolnews, the tragedy unfolded on Friday, September 12, near the Archaeology Department, opposite the UBA Hall of Fame, during a Faculty of Arts bonfire.



Eyewitnesses said Nweze had attended the event with friends when his Mercedes-Benz GLK allegedly scratched another vehicle while he tried to drive out. Although campus security initially intervened and defused tensions, the situation escalated after Nweze left the venue.

As he and his companions were heading out through the Odenigwe Gate, they were ambushed by a group of armed assailants in three vehicles. While his friends fled, Nweze confronted the attackers and was stabbed fatally in the neck. He died on the spot.

Security officials quickly intercepted the suspects at the gate. Four individuals including one UNN student are currently in custody. Unconfirmed reports suggest the attack may be linked to a cult-related dispute, but police have yet to issue an official statement. The case has since been transferred to the Enugu State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) under the directive of the Commissioner of Police.



In its Monday announcement made available to Myschoolnews, the university emphasized that the safety of its students and the need to maintain peace on campus remain its top priority.

“Effective immediately, no social or entertainment event will be permitted to continue past 6:00 p.m., whether within or around the school premises,” the statement read.

The restriction has drawn divided reactions among students and stakeholders. While some commend the administration’s quick response, others fear the decision may negatively impact campus life and cultural activities traditionally held in the evenings.

For now, UNN remains under tight security watch as investigations continue and the community mourns the loss of a well-known entrepreneur whose life was cut short in the violence.

EducationAlleged Arrest Of UNN Pharmacy Student Sparks Concerns Over Decomposing Body by Msntv(op): 6:12pm On Oct 25, 2024
In a case that has left the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) community in a state of anxiety and confusion, Ugwu Chukwuebuka Nelson, a 500-level Pharmacy student, has been missing since July 2024. Known to his friends as Buka T, Nelson's last known activity was informing his friends that he was heading out to pick up a waybill. He never returned, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

Initial reports suggested that Nelson was detained in connection with the murder of Favour Okenyi, a first-year female student from the Department of Medical Laboratory Science whose body was discovered in a drainage on the UNN campus. This information, provided by an anonymous source, quickly spread, casting a shadow over Nelson's disappearance. However, further investigation by MYSCHOOLNEWS revealed that Nelson is neither in police custody nor held by UNN security, according to anonymous sources from these institutions. This revelation has only deepened the mystery and raised several critical questions.

Could Nelson Have Been Killed?

One of the most alarming possibilities is that Nelson may have met with foul play. The connection to the high-profile murder case of Favour Okenyi suggests that Nelson could have been targeted either as a suspect or as a victim of mistaken identity. The lack of any concrete evidence or leads from the police and university security raises serious concerns about his safety and the effectiveness of the investigation.

Is Nelson Being Detained Secretly?

Another angle to consider is the possibility that Nelson is being detained in connection with the murder case. The anonymous source's claim that he was arrested suggests that there might be more to the story than meets the eye. If he is indeed being held, why is there no official record or acknowledgment from the authorities? This secrecy could indicate a deeper, more complex investigation at play, or it could point to procedural lapses within the security apparatus.

Is the Murder Connection a Diversion?

The narrative linking Nelson to the murder of Favour Okenyi might be a red herring designed to divert attention from his disappearance. This tactic could be employed to cover up other motives or actions that led to his vanishing. The timing and circumstances of his disappearance warrant a thorough examination to uncover any hidden agendas or ulterior motives.

The Role of Anonymous Sources

The reliance on anonymous sources for information about Nelson's status adds another layer of complexity. While these sources provide crucial insights, their anonymity raises questions about the credibility and completeness of the information. Are there other witnesses or individuals with knowledge of Nelson's situation who have yet to come forward? The lack of transparency and accountability in the information provided by these sources complicates the search for the truth.

Porous Security at UNN

Nelson's disappearance has also highlighted significant security concerns at UNN. The fact that a student can go missing without a trace and without any substantial leads from the university's security apparatus points to serious lapses in campus safety. The murder of Favour Okenyi and the subsequent disappearance of Nelson underscore the need for a comprehensive review and overhaul of security measures at the university. Students, faculty, and staff must feel safe and protected within the campus environment.

Impact on the University Community

Nelson's disappearance has undoubtedly had a profound impact on the UNN community. Students, faculty, and staff are left grappling with Confusion and uncertainty. The university administration's response and collaboration with security agencies are critical in addressing these concerns and ensuring the safety of all students. The administration must take proactive steps to reassure the community and prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

As the investigation continues, it is imperative to ask the necessary questions and seek answers from all possible angles. The truth behind Ugwu Chukwuebuka Nelson's disappearance remains elusive, but the relentless pursuit of justice and transparency is essential in unraveling this enigma. The university community and Nelson's family deserve closure and the assurance that every effort is being made to find him and bring clarity to this troubling situation.

EducationFemale UNN Student Abducted After Meeting Boyfriend, Kidnappers Demand N5.5m by Msntv(op):
A first-year student from the Education English department at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), Chukwuemeka Philomina Ekpereamaka, has been reported abducted. The incident occurred on July 14, 2024, at approximately 12:00 PM near Bello Hostel, located within the university campus.

According to information gathered by Myschoolnews, Ekpereamaka informed her hostel mates that she was going to meet her boyfriend downstairs. However, she was soon discovered to be missing from the campus.

In the early hours of July 15, 2024, the abductors established contact with Ekpereamaka’s roommate, Chioma Ogbonna, using the phone number 08100322454. They demanded a ransom of 5.5 million naira for her release.


In her last WhatsApp voice note to her roommate, Ekpereamaka explained that her boyfriend had set her up. In her words, “It’s like he is owing these people money, and they have decided I will not leave until they get their money. I don’t know how long I will stay here and this environment is very strange; I don’t know anywhere here.”


The Student Union Government (SUG) Director of Information confirmed this to Myschoolnews and stated that they are actively monitoring the situation to determine what exactly transpired. The university community is deeply concerned about Ekpereamaka's safety and is urging authorities to take swift action.

This alarming incident has sent shockwaves through the campus, with students and staff anxiously awaiting updates. The abduction highlights ongoing security concerns and the need for increased vigilance within the university environment.

EducationIfeoma Eze Esther, UNN Student, Dies In Hotel (GRAPHIC PICS) by Msntv(op): 8:40pm On Jul 10, 2024
Ifeoma Eze Esther, a 100 Level student from the Department of Biochemistry UNN has died tragically after being thrown down from 3 story hotel building.

The death of a University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) student at Padelia Hotel has ignited a wave of controversy and concern within the university community. Initial reports suggested a cover-up by the hotel management, but recent investigations have shed light on the events surrounding the student's tragic demise.

The incident, which occurred late last month, involved Ifeoma Eze Esther, a 100 Level student from the Department of Biochemistry, who was reportedly pushed from a building at Padelia Hotel. Earlier social media posts alleged that the hotel's management attempted to conceal the incident, with claims that the Student Union Government (SUG) was also aware but chose to remain silent
To clarify the situation, Myschoolnews reached out to the SUG Director of Information, who provided a detailed account of what transpired. According to the Director, the SUG was not immediately informed when the incident occurred. However, upon learning about it, they visited the hotel to investigate.

"Ifeoma didn’t die at the hotel but at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), where she was rushed immediately after the incident," the Director stated. He emphasized that the police were involved from the outset and had stationed officers at the hotel to apprehend the culprits, who were subsequently arrested and remain in police custody.

When questioned about the possibility of the student being intentionally pushed, the Director admitted he could not confirm this, as he was not present during the incident. He added that the victim's roommate had tried to discourage her from accompanying the individuals involved. MySchoolNews gathered that Ifeoma had given a false name, "Gift," when she checked into the hotel. The hotel manager was also arrested for poor documentation.

The Director refuted claims of a cover-up by the hotel management. "Even the parents of the child were present at UNTH and were aware when the arrests were made," he noted. According to his account, the hotel's management acted promptly by rushing the victim to the hospital immediately after the incident.

In a further twist, one of the culprits returned to the hotel early the next morning to retrieve his car, unaware that police officers were monitoring the premises. This led to their apprehension and subsequent detention.

This tragic event has highlighted the need for improved safety measures for students and the importance of transparent communication from all parties involved. The SUG, while acknowledging its limited jurisdiction over incidents occurring outside the university campus, emphasized their role in advocating for student safety and welfare.

The incident involving Ifeoma is the second student death within a week. Okenyi Fabour Oluchukwu, another 100 Level student, was found dead in a drainage system inside UNN. These back-to-back tragedies have raised many questions and increased calls for enhanced protective measures for students.

As investigations continue, the university community remains in mourning, calling for justice and better safety protocols to prevent such incidents in the future.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wj_9fWFU_0

A video circulating on Instagram has captured the intense scene at the University of Benin (UNIBEN) main gate, where students have staged a protest over prolonged power outage on campus. The situation escalated as police and other security outfit attempted to restore order, but the students remained steadfast in their demonstration.

@the_flawless2 (7 minutes ago): “Make them go check wetin we do for Tasued that year. Benin Ore road shutdown… Spirit of Aluta… God bless y’all comrades.”

Another student commented, “Omo, God bless every one of you… The front is strong huh?; it gives the back courage to pull back and reinforce. Does force wan use action scare them off before.”

EducationUniversity Of Maiduguri Asks Students To Write New National Anthem In Exam by Msntv(op): 4:27pm On Jun 30, 2024
The University of Maiduguri recently administered an exam that included an unconventional question: “As a patriotic Nigerian, write the new national anthem in full.” The question, appearing as the second item on the exam sheet, has sparked discussions among students and social media users.

The decision to ask students to compose a new national anthem has raised eyebrows. While some view it as an opportunity to foster patriotism and creativity, others question its practicality and relevance.


The introduction of this exam question has sparked a broader debate. Critics argue that addressing urgent issues like inflation, insecurity, and economic challenges should take precedence over anthem changes. However, proponents emphasize the cultural significance of a new anthem in promoting patriotism and unity.

On the morning of May 23, 2024, students heading to class at the Abuja Building encountered a significant amount of blood.

Videos taken by students at the scene show a trail of blood, suggesting that the injured individual may have been moving, possibly in an attempt to escape or seek help.

EducationAjayi Abimbola Adejoke Dies At Federal Poly Ilaro Over Card Requirement by Msntv(op): 4:51pm On Apr 25, 2024
The Federal Polytechnic Ilaro community is in mourning following the sudden and tragic death of one of its students, Miss Ajayi Abimbola Adejoke, an HND student from the Department of Leisure and Tourism. The circumstances surrounding her demise have sparked controversy and grief among students, faculty, and the wider community.

According to eyewitness accounts, Miss Ajayi Abimbola Adejoke began experiencing severe abdominal pain while attending a practical class. Concerned for her well-being, fellow students rushed her to the school clinic, hoping for immediate medical attention. However, their efforts were met with bureaucratic obstacles.

The attending clinic staff allegedly insisted that Miss Adejoke could not be treated without a valid clinical card. Despite the urgency of the situation, they demanded that the distressed student obtain the necessary paperwork, resulting in a delay of approximately 15 minutes. During this critical time, Miss Adejoke’s condition deteriorated rapidly.

Recognizing the severity of the situation, the clinic staff eventually transferred her to the nearby “Ore Ofe” private hospital. There, she was placed on oxygen support. Tragically, Miss Adejoke passed away while undergoing a medical scan.

“Ilaro Polytechnic lost a student due to poor health facilities and incompetent nurses and doctors,” the student asserted.

In response to the growing outcry and accusations of negligence, the university management released an official press statement. The statement, signed by Sola Abiala, Deputy Registrar of Public Relations, refutes claims of clinic negligence. According to the medical report obtained from the Director of Medical Services, Miss Adejoke was suffering from pregnancy-related complications. The report indicates that she was promptly referred to the private hospital due to the nature of her condition.


The university further clarified that Miss Adejoke’s boyfriend, who accompanied her to the clinic, confirmed her pregnancy. The decision to transfer her to a specialized facility was made to ensure proper care. The institution’s ambulances facilitated her transfer, accompanied by a nurse and her boyfriend.

Despite the official response, students remain deeply disturbed by the incident. An anonymous student, speaking to Myschoolnews, expressed frustration and concern about the clinic’s handling of emergencies. They recounted a similar experience during their ND days when a coursemate faced delays due to administrative requirements.

It’s disheartening,” the student said. “People attending to students in the school clinic are too heartless and wicked. Someone in pain, and they insist on a card before attending to her. We should try to avoid being the reason for such tragedies.”

The tragedy of Miss Ajayi Abimbola Adejoke’s passing underscores the need for improved emergency protocols and compassionate care within educational institutions. As the community mourns, questions about the clinic’s responsiveness and policies remain unanswered.

The Federal Polytechnic Ilaro community extends its condolences to Miss Adejoke’s family, friends, and classmates. May her soul rest in peace.

EducationUNN Lecturer, Professor Mfonobong David Udoudom Caught Pants Down In GS Building by Msntv(op): 6:23pm On Apr 22, 2024
In a shocking revelation, the serene campus of the University of Nigeria Nsukka was rattled today as a male lecturer, identified as Professor Mfonobong David Udoudom from the General Studies department, was apprehended in an attempted sexual encounter with a married female student. The incident, which unfolded in the early hours of April 22, 2024, has sent shockwaves across the institution and beyond.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOapuU6l2v0

The lecturer, who teaches GSP 208 (Nigerian People and Culture), was reportedly caught red-handed in his office by authorities who intervened just in time. According to sources, including the brother-in-law of the victim, the lecturer had demanded sex in exchange for good grades. The student declined, leading to the lecturer's threats that others might not pass his course if she did not comply. The victim tried to appease the lecturer with money, but he refused, escalating the pressure on her.

It was reported that this is not the first time Professor Udoudom has attempted such acts, with many of his previous victims coming from the Food Science and Technology (FST) department. To expose the lecturer, a trap was set by the student's husband in collaboration with university security and the Dean of Student Affairs. The plan worked, and evidence was gathered, leading to the lecturer's apprehension.

University authorities were quick to respond, capturing video footage of the scene and collecting evidence. Eyewitnesses, who preferred to remain unnamed, emphasized the thoroughness of the investigation, stating, "We have been following the case from the very start. We have all the tracts, voice notes, and everything. We have been following it." The lecturer was taken to the Dean's office for further interrogation, where he was seen in tears as he faced the Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Edwin Omeje.

The incident transpired at the GS building within the University of Nigeria Nsukka, marking a dark chapter in the institution's history.

As investigations continue into this scandalous affair, the University of Nigeria Nsukka is grappling with the fallout of alleged misconduct by one of its faculty members. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of maintaining ethical standards within academic institutions and underscores the need for swift and decisive action in addressing such matters.

EducationJAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede Reveals The First University In Nigeria by Msntv(op): 1:46pm On Apr 10, 2024

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ3mgNs0qEo

Professor Ishaq Oloyede expressed his opinion on the long-standing debate regarding the first university to be established in Nigeria. During his speech at the Valedictory lecture of Professor Benjamin Ozumba, he brought up the issue and stated that there is no historical dispute that the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) was the first university in Nigeria.

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, expressed his opinion on the long-standing debate regarding the first university to be established in Nigeria. During his speech at the Valedictory lecture of Professor Benjamin Ozumba, he brought up the issue and stated that there is no historical dispute that the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) was the first university in Nigeria.

The Registrar clarified that the University of Ibadan was not established before UNN, as it was only a University College at the time. "When someone say this is the first university in Nigeria, nobody in history can dispute it because it was the first university. University of Ibadan was not established before UNN, what we had was University college. You cannot write about the history of universities in West Africa without talking about UNN", he asserted.

Expanding his discourse, Professor Oloyede extended scrutiny to the rivalry between the University of Ibadan and the University of Ghana, both vying for the title of West Africa's premier university. He debunked their assertions, labeling them as "mere colleges" upon establishment. Highlighting a pivotal distinction, he elucidated that graduates from these institutions were categorized as external candidates, signifying their affiliation with the University of London rather than with their purported alma maters.

Further, Professor Oloyede's statement aimed to educate and provide clarity on the issue, rather than to patronize UNN. He emphasized that UNN was the first full-fledged university in Nigeria, and this fact cannot be disputed historically.

EducationJAMB Registrar Urges Students: “make JAMB Your Enemy For Success” by Msntv(op): 3:51pm On Apr 05, 2024
In a candid interview with MySchoolNews TV, the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Ishaq Oloyede, delivered a powerful message to students: “JAMB must be your enemy.” His remarks came during the valedictory lecture of the 14th Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Professor Benjamin Ozumba.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsW7jXTyFjY?si=0uBAFeGBuWWlWoRM

Professor Oloyede’s statement challenges conventional wisdom. Rather than viewing JAMB as an ally, he emphasized that considering it an adversary could lead to better outcomes. “If JAMB is your friend,” he asserted, “then you are not doing what you are supposed to do.” According to him, treating JAMB as an opponent fosters a sense of urgency and commitment, ultimately driving students to perform at their best.

In a recent development, JAMB has demonstrated its commitment to maintaining rigorous standards. During the Direct Entry registration exercise, the board uncovered 1665 fake A-level results. This revelation underscores JAMB’s vigilance in ensuring the integrity of the examination process. As students gear up for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) scheduled from April 19th to April 29th, the stakes are high, and all hands must be on deck.

With the UTME just around the corner, students across the nation must intensify their preparations. JAMB’s insistence on being perceived as an adversary serves as a wake-up call. It encourages students to approach their studies with determination, discipline, and a healthy sense of competition. As the examination dates draw near, candidates should heed Professor Oloyede’s advice: make JAMB your enemy, and you’ll emerge stronger and better prepared.

In the coming weeks, examination halls will witness the culmination of months of hard work and dedication. As students sharpen their pencils and review their notes, they carry with them the weight of their aspirations. JAMB, ever watchful, stands as both gatekeeper and guide—a challenge to overcome and a path to success.

Let this be a reminder to all aspiring scholars: embrace the struggle, for it is through adversity that greatness is forged. As the clock ticks down to the UTME, may every student rise to the occasion, armed with knowledge, resilience, and the determination to conquer their academic Everest.

EducationWe Are Are Ready For The Worst, SSANU, UNN Chapter Warns FG Over Unpaid Salaries by Msntv(op): 3:39pm On Mar 24, 2024

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmCBviBUM7U
The Chairman, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU University of Nigeria, Nsukka Chapter, Dr Linus Moses Akata has asserted that SSANU is bracing itself for potential repercussions regarding its stance on the strike ultimatum.

He made this known in an interview with MySchoolNews TV in the university environs.

Akata disclosed that the strike came as a response to unmet agreements from 2022 by the government on the stoppage of the renegotiation of the 2019 agreement which was a Collective baining Agreement that took 8 years to reach, the release of end allowances they couldn't release as promised and the reconstitutioning of governing Council.

However, one of the key concerns raised by the striking unions is the unequal treatment of non-teaching staff compared to academic staff. Despite assurances from the current administration, grievances regarding salary areas and essential services' payments remain unresolved as the federal government only paid 4 months areas to the academic staff.


The strike, which commenced with a seven-day warning phase, has already disrupted essential services such as water supply, hostel maintenance, and academic activities. Gerardine, the Hall Governor of a hostel on campus, highlighted the challenges faced by students and staff since the strike began. "There is no water," she lamented, noting that even basic tasks like cleaning and hostel management have been affected.

Furthermore, the strike has forced the postponement of Computer-Based Tests (CBT) exams, affecting students' academic schedules. Gerardine expressed concern over the lack of communication from the administration regarding measures to address the strike's effects on campus services.

The strike's impact extends beyond water and hostel services, affecting electricity supply and security arrangements. While essential services like security have not joined the strike, concerns over fair compensation and working conditions persist among these personnel.



In response to queries about the strike's duration and potential outcomes, the union representative emphasized their determination to press for their demands. They urged solidarity among NASU and SSANU members, emphasizing their resilience and readiness to endure further challenges if necessary.

"He who is down fears no fall. We have being owed already so what is there? So it is just between the deep blue sea and the Devil Himself and the level of compliance will tell you that people are ready, even for the worst. You can cease as many salaries. If we could survive 8 months then they we can survive eternity", Akata affirmed.

EducationDr. Chinweobo UNN Lecturer Stifles Press Freedom, Arrests Myschoolnews Staff by Msntv(op):
In a recent turn of events, Dr. Blessing Chinweobo, a lecturer in the department of Mass Communication at the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), has threatened legal action against Myschoolnews, an online news platform. The dispute stems from a publication made by Myschoolnews based on a Facebook post by Dr. Chinweobo.

https://myschoolnews.ng/omo-see-spacing-mass-communication-department-at-unn-promotes-academic-integrity-amidst-large-class-sizes
Dr. Chinweobo’s original post on Facebook read as follows:

“In Mass Comm UNN, most classes are almost 400 in number. Yes, the number is large, but we are very organized and have zero tolerance for all forms of academic malpractices. Today is Monday, and our Mondays are usually beautifully blue. Our students, nko? Be the judge.”

A student, reacting to the lecturer’s post, highlighted students who appeared unprepared for an exam based on their expressions. The student’s comment read:

“So I decided to zoom in. That girl’s face, though.”

Dr. Chinweobo, in response to the student’s remark, asked:

“Wetin do their faces? They are on hot seats, na.”

The student replied:

“It’s not just about the hot seats. I guess it’s about empty sheets.”



On Thursday, 21 March 2024, Dr. Blessing Chinweobo, accompanied by armed security personnel, stormed the office of Myschoolnews UNN Branch. Subsequently, a staff member from Myschoolnews was taken into custody. However, the staff was later released on bail after a call from Prof. S.I. Ofoefule, Director, SERVICOM Unit.

Dr. Chinweobo had previously called Myschoolnews, threatening legal action if they did not take down the publication. She emphasized that she disliked the headline attached to the picture and hinted that Myschoolnews has no right to use the pictures of students taking examination which was sourced from her social media page.

However, Dr. Chinweobo failed to acknowledge that taking pictures of students inside an examination hall is against UNN guidelines. Furthermore, she maintained that Myschoolnews is supposed to contact her before using the contents she shared on the public domain.

Myschoolnews, in response, stands by its publications, asserting that the company has the right to use pictures from the lecturer’s public social media page. As of this publication, the dispute remains unresolved, and both parties continue to hold their ground.

Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as legal proceedings unfold.
