A student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) in Awka, Anambra State, tragically jumped from a three-storey building and died after allegedly consuming a hard substance suspected to be Methamphetamine, (crystal meth) locally known as 'ice' or "mkpurummiri."
The incident occurred on Thursday evening near Royal Kitchen Junction, close to the school gate.
The student is believed to have taken the substance, which led to his fatal jump from the building.
Despite efforts to rush him to a nearby hospital, the student was confirmed dead on arrival.
His roommate was found in an incoherent state, allegedly under the influence of the same substance, and is currently in police custody for questioning once he stabilizes.
Authorities are working to notify the student's family and investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The Chief Safety Officer at UNIZIK confirmed the incident but stated that it occurred outside the school premises, and an investigation is ongoing.

Many youths are being destroyed daily by drug/substance abuse and the authorities aren't doing anything about it. Maybe they're all abusers.
