Rose Adikwu, a 200-level Political Science student at Father Moses Orshio Adasu University in Makurdi, has been hospitalized after her roommate allegedly poured boiling water, pepper, and salt on her during a dispute. Agbo Felicia, a 500-level Chemistry student and Felicia's alleged perpetrator, has been arrested by the police, who are currently investigating the incident.
Adikwu sustained severe burns and was seen at a private hospital with bandages covering parts of her body. The argument reportedly began over their living situation, with Adikwu asking Felicia to leave the apartment. After she moved out, Felicia is accused of returning, boiling water, and pouring the mixture on Adikwu before locking her in the room.
Neighbors heard her cries for help and rescued her, while the police responded and arrested Felicia. The Students' Union President, Akighirga Vitalis, condemned the attack and vowed to support appropriate disciplinary action, emphasizing that violence should not be tolerated among students.
