An alleged University of Port Harcourt student has reportedly been arrested by the police after his girlfriend died in his room.
According to a Twitter user @TheBriDen who shared the story on the micro-blogging platform, the lady who had gone to her boyfriend’s house to pass the night died in her sleep.
@TheBriDen claimed the young man is still in police custody as his family cannot afford to pay for an autopsy to be carried out on the body of the lady.
“Heard the sad story of a Uniport student currently in police custody because his girlfriend, another Uniport student, died in her sleep in his house after a brief illness. A simple autopsy would show that he is innocent but the family cannot afford one.” His tweet read.
