A 25-year-old Seminarian and first-year student of Philosophy identified as Suel Ambrose, has slumped and died during the process of acting in an Easter Passion play, a drama presentation of the agony and crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
The incident happened on Saturday at Claratian University of Nigeria (CUN), Nekede, Owerri in Imo state.
It was gathered that the deceased who hailed from Benue State was playing the role of St. Peter when he suddenly slumped. An incident that throws the whole school community into confusion.
According to one of the students named Mavis, he said the deceased fell on the floor and started bleeding.
He also said when the first aid was given to him and couldn’t revive him, he was quickly rushed to the Federal Medical Center in Owerri where he was confirmed dead.
The incident led to the suspension of all activities relating to the Easter celebration in the institution.
However, the priest in charge of Students Affairs at the university, Fr Chukwuemeka Iheme, who confirmed the incident said that he could “only speak further when authorized to do so.”
Meanwhile, a resident of the area, who identified himself as Charles, said it was the second time a student would die in a similar situation.
He said a student had died in the past while taking part in a jugging activity.
