The University of Nigeria, Nsukka, has confirmed the death of four students and the hospitalisation of six others following a house party held outside the university campus.
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Simon Ortuanya, says investigations are underway to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.
He says preliminary findings have raised concerns about possible alcohol abuse and the presence of drug-related paraphernalia.
The university is also cooperating with security agencies to unravel the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
Meanwhile, the institution has declared three days of mourning, with all social and academic activities suspended.
The university community has been urged to remain calm and refrain from speculation as investigations continue.
