The incident occurred on Thursday evening at Miracle Junction in Ifite, Anambra State.
The female student was identified as Uche Jovita Chigozirim.
A colleague of the deceased, Dickson Anayochi, who spoke with journalists said Chigozirim was hit by a stray bullet at Miracle Junction.
“Please help us and let the world know the insecurity situation we are facing here in the UNIZIK environment and the state government is not doing anything to improve the situation.
“Please let the Inspector General of Police help us with a checkpoint around Ifite area of UNIZIK because we are tired of complaining to the state government. It’s now a culture we are almost used to. It’s really sad,” he said.
As of the time of filing this report, the lifeless body of the student was still lying at the crime scene and covered with banana leaves.
