The Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) community is mourning the loss of Ifunaya Miracle, a recent graduate from the Department of Quantity Surveying. Miracle tragically lost her life in an accident, which occurred as a result of a TikTok prank.
The accident, which happened a few days ago, has left the university and her family in deep sorrow. Miracle, along with another female student, boarded a Keke (a local form of transportation) that was occupied by individuals engaging in a prank. During the journey, the pranksters suddenly demanded that the students drop their cellphones in the moving Keke. In a panic, the other student jumped out, sustaining various injuries, while Miracle tragically leaped out right in front of a large trailer, resulting in her immediate death.

In her honor, the Faculty of Environmental Sciences Students' Association (FESSA) organized a candlelight procession. The event took place on the evening of Wednesday, June 12th, at 7:00 PM, as a tribute to her life and the bright future that was tragically extinguished.
