After more than a year of trial, Rivers State High Court has convicted and sentenced a 400-level Petrochemical Engineering student of the University of Port Harcourt, Damian Okoligwe, to death by hanging for the murder of his girlfriend, Justina Otuene, a 300-level Biochemistry student. Delivering the judgment, Justice Chiwen Nsirim-Nwosu ruled that the prosecution, led by Charles Obediah-Mbaba, proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt, establishing that Okoligwe committed the crime. The court also held that Justina’s death resulted directly from the actions and conduct of the convict, Damian Okoligwe. The prosecution lawyer, Charles Obediah-Mbaba, who spoke to our correspondent after the judgment, hailed the court for ensuring that justice was served on the matter. Osat-awaji Otuene, elder brother to the late Justina Otuene, also spoke. Recall that the case first came to light after operatives of the Ozuoba Police Division received a complaint from a neighbour about a foul odour coming from Damian Okoligwe’s room. Police say officers responded immediately, forced open the door, and discovered a Ghana-must-go bag containing the lifeless body of Justina Otuene. The murder trial began in May 2024, two months after the Rivers State Government took over the case. #UnportInfo

Uniport Pharmacy Students Reeling After Shocking ICT Results: 95% Failure Rate Sparks Outrage A sense of shock and dismay has swept through the 200 Level Pharmacy program at the University of Port Harcourt (Uniport) following the release of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) exam results. The outcome was nothing short of devastating, with 129 students failing, a mere 7 passing, and not a single student achieving a distinction. This staggering 95% failure rate has left many students feeling frustrated, confused, and wondering what went wrong. The news is made even more bitter by the fact that those who failed will have to resit the course, a move that comes with a hefty price tag of ₦10,000 per student. To add insult to injury, the students were reportedly under the impression that they could carry the course over, as stated in the handbook. The students are now calling the situation "unfair and confusing", and many are questioning the fairness of the system. "How could this happen?" is the question on everyone's lips. The massive failure rate has sparked outrage among the student body, with many demanding answers from the university administration. The situation has raised concerns about the quality of teaching, the effectiveness of the course materials, and the support systems in place for students. As the students prepare to resit the course, they are left wondering what the future holds and how they will move forward. The Uniport administration has yet to comment on the situation, but one thing is certain - this shocking result has left a mark on the 200 Level Pharmacy program and will have far-reaching consequences for the students involved. #Uniport_Story #Pharmacy_faculty

UNIPORT Lecturer Exposes Deception Behind ‘Sign-Out’ Jamborees A lecturer at the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), Dr. Ovunda Ihunwo, has raised alarm over what he describes as the “deceptive culture” of sign-out jamborees, warning parents to be more vigilant about their children’s true academic standing before celebrating. In recent years, it has become common to see graduating students marking the end of examinations with “sign-out” ceremonies, often characterized by elaborate parties, designer outfits, loud music, spraying of money, and in some cases, the active participation of parents. However, Dr. Ihunwo noted that a growing number of these celebrations are misleading, as some students who participate may not have actually met their graduation requirements. “Parents must be careful. Some of the students you see signing out are not even cleared academically,” Ihunwo cautioned. “They are deceiving themselves, their parents, and the public.” The lecturer stressed that many students engage in sign-out events as a show of status and social pressure, even while still battling carryovers, outstanding fees, or other issues that could delay their graduation. According to him, such displays create false impressions and put parents in an awkward position when the truth eventually surfaces. Observers say the culture of sign-out jamborees, once a simple farewell gesture among classmates, has ballooned into a social trend fueled by peer influence, social media clout, and the desire for public validation. For many families, it has become a symbol of pride, with parents sometimes funding the extravagant outings without verifying if their children are genuinely through with school. Dr. Ihunwo urged parents to demand academic confirmation before supporting such ceremonies, while also encouraging students to focus on completing their studies with integrity rather than chasing fleeting moments of celebration. “Graduation is a milestone that should be backed by proof of academic achievement, not just customized shirts and noise,” he emphasized. His remarks have sparked conversations on campus and online, with some students agreeing that the sign-out craze has become excessive, while others argue that it remains an important rite of passage regardless of academic hurdles. #Copied #portHarcourtSpecials #uniport
