The Delta State University, Abraka has suspended lectures in honour of late Ayaemene Eugene, a 300 level Fine Arts student, who passed on on Saturday.

This is coming after the institution’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Andy Egwunyenga, set up a Special Committee to Investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the student who is believed to have died as a result of negligence of the school’s Health workers.
