There has been widespread shock and anger following the mysterious death of Comrade Dashe Paul Na’anma, an HND 2 student of the Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa during the Nigerian Institution of Civil Engineering Student’s Affiliate (NICESA) Student Affiliate convention in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The 22nd International Civil Engineering Conference and Annual General Meeting, which Dashe attended, took place from October 23 to 25, 2024, at the Dr. Obi Wali Conference Centre, G.U. Ake Road, Port Harcourt.
Dashe, who was vying for the position of NICESA President, was reportedly kidnapped during the event but later posted on his social media account.
Tragically, he was later found dead, allegedly from drowning in a swimming pool at a social event held the night before the election.
A Facebook user, Tesla Investment giving an insight into the development said; “He was killed on Friday, October 25, yet they’re trying to frame his death as a pool drowning during a party. This young man was a skilled swimmer, so this explanation doesn’t add up.
“He traveled to Port Harcourt to contest in the Nigeria Institute of Civil Engineering (NICE-SA) elections, which were scheduled for Saturday, October 26. But he died the day before. We just want to know the truth because everyone we’ve asked is giving us conflicting stories.
“Now, one of the NICE-SA leaders, who was responsible for depositing his body at the mortuary, left Port Harcourt with all the members who attended the election. They’ve fled, and we haven’t been able to retrieve his body since, as he’s the only one authorized to sign it out.”
