Late Joshua Daniel Was Not Stabbed 5 Times - Veritas University Debunks Allegation

Veritas University, Abuja, has debunked reports that its 100 Level student, Mr Joshua Daniel, who died on Tuesday night, was stabbed.

The school which insisted that the student died after he slumped at its gymnasium, expressed its full readiness to cooperate with relevant authorities for full-scale investigation into the death.

This is as it pledged to fully fund the cost of autopsy that would be carried out on the body of the deceased to determine the cause of his death.

The Head, Corporate Affairs, Veritas University, Mr Ben Agande, said these while reacting to the report that the student was stabbed to death during an exercise session at the school’s gymnasium.

“The report that the student died as a result of stab wounds is incorrect. There is no stabbing incident in Veritas. We don’t know where this report is emanating from and the intention of those peddling it.

”As earlier said, we are ready as an institution to cooperate fully with relevant authorities for a full-scale investigation into the death of our student.
