A candidate of the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, in Awka, Anambra State, John Ezekwe, has drowned and died in a hotel.
Ezekwe drowned in the swimming pool of a hotel at Old INEC Road in Awka South.
Punch reports that Ezekwe had gone to the hotel for a friend’s birthday when the incident happened.
He was said to be a Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) student at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka.
He was said to have scored 250 in the UTME which he wrote last Friday.
The newspaper quoted a friend of the deceased family, Etz Perfect, as posting on Facebook: “Why you? Why now? So your future is now shattered. What will happen to your JAMB (UTME) result?
“Such a meaningless world indeed. God knows the best for you. Rest in the bosom of the Almighty.
“He alone has the right over us. I believe He is aware of this.
“God why? Why him? Must it be our youths?
“You promised us long life and prosperity, but our youths are dying. Jay Jay (Ezekwe), you were such a nice person.
“I will miss you dear. I can’t stop crying. Jayblaq is gone forever.
“Mr. and Mrs. Ezekwe, take heart; we are dust and to dust we shall return.
“Nobody is too young to die. Such is life. RIP Jay Jay, RIP Mathematician.
“Heaven will receive you.”
