A 24-year-old student of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, has described how he survived a party in the Hilltop area of Nsukka that left four students dead.

The survivor said one guest started vomiting during the party. He took the guest to the toilet, then returned to clean the floor. Soon after, he lost consciousness, and his legs became stiff.

According to him, he woke up around 9pm and saw the host and other guests lying on the floor. He called friends for help, and one of them took those affected to hospitals in Nsukka.

The survivor said the guests only drank alcohol, and he dismissed claims that anyone took anything else. He added that police visited him and asked whether anyone tampered with the drinks or had a quarrel with the host.

The Enugu State Police Command is investigating the incident, which happened on November 11, and the cause of the deaths is yet to be established. The university has banned sign-out celebrations, and six other persons remain in hospital.
