Tragically, reports on Facebook suggested that the student was poisoned to death by her stepmother.
A post by one Ofoke Bright Ikenna on Facebook read:
“An exceptionally brilliant girl child from Abia state has been k1LLed by her stepmother out of jealousy and envy. The stepmother has since confessed that she poisoned her to death.
“Chinecherem got 9As in Senior Secondary Certificate of Education (SSCE) and subsequently won a scholarship to study Software Engineering at a UK university. May her soul rest in peace.”
However, the claim was yet to be officially confirmed.
