The death has been announced of two students of the
Faculty of Health Sciences, of the Imo State University, (IMSU) Owerri

The aura around the school has been one of gloom
and mourning as the news filtered in that two students had died on their
way to a medical national conference in Jos.

ran into a robbery scene on the Kaduna/Jos road.
The bus was said to be very close to its
destination, just about 3 kilometres away when they ran into the ambush
