How Sick Law Student Died After Hostel Mistress Denied Her Access To Her Room 

In a regrettable display of indifference toward a fellow human, Miss Ajana Isabella, a student at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) in Awka, reportedly passed away after being denied entry to her room to take her medication.

Ajana, a diabetic who stayed in Elmada Hostel, was denied urgent access to her room to take her insulin medication resulting in a medical crisis.

The hostel mistress had demanded a payment of 120, 000 before giving them spare key to the room after it got missing.

Ajana and her roommates were said to have lost the key to their room, which contained her insulin. In a desperate attempt to retrieve the life-saving medication, the students approached their hostel mistress, identified as Madam Bright, requesting the spare key.

According to student’s accounts, Madam Bright allegedly refused to release the spare key unless the students paid a fee of ₦120,000 — demanding ₦40,000 from each roommate as part of the hostel’s stated policy.

It was gathered that despite explaining the urgency of Ajana’s condition and their inability to immediately raise the money, their plea was reportedly dismissed.

Her condition deteriorated rapidly and she was rushed to the hospital where she died.

The incident has sparked widespread outrage across the university community, with the students calling for justice.

“This is beyond negligence; it’s inhuman. Someone’s life was at stake, and we were told to pay ₦120,000 before she could access her medication. This death could have been avoided,” a student said.

According to officials of the institution, the incident is being investigated.

The whereabouts of the hostel mistress is yet to be known.
