Fire guts boys hostel at Madonna University Okija campus, students injured

Last night, a room at Saint Peters boys hostel in the Okija campus of Madonna University was gutted by fire, trapping three students. One of the students, (pictured above) was badly burnt when help didn't come on time. Students in the hostel say they couldn't help on time because there was little water, no fire extinguisher, no sand and there was only one exit from the building. Students were seen trying to jump from the 4th and 5th floor of the hostel when fire engulfed the building. Thankfully no death was recorded though one student had second degree burns and is in hospital.

Students say the fire was caused by faulty electrical connections in the hostel and are blaming the school authority.

Update: Just heard one of the students has died. See photos after the cut...

they should just make that man suffer, he thinks he is GOD, the government should transfer the students and shut down all his institution because it lacks proper management and everything that makes up a university......have you seen their clinic?, lab?, hostel? cafe? toilet? and their workerss??? everything look messy i swear.
i did my interview and after that, i ran the school workers are old, the bankers are just like market traders, the cooks are very old igbo village women, their bursary workers are young illiterates, and registrar are nothing to write home about..
please linda help this people, they pay money to be seen and not heard..the students need real intervention NUC ND the GOVT needs to do something quick, because your son or brother is not there does not mean you should turn away...
NUC STOP COMING TO MADONNA TO EAT BRIBE AND MEAL PREPARED BY REV SISTER OBY A.K.A POINT AND KILL, WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!NUC PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, HELP THE STUDENT

Shuooo, see me see trouble o, there is nothing one will not see in this world. I never insulted anyone when I came on here to leave my comment so please Anonymous the least you can do is have some respect for yourself. If you are a student and your parents worked so hard to pay your fees you certainly won't want the school to be shut down no matter the hatred you have within you especially when you have a few months to graduate and knowing how difficult it is getting admission in a country where tribalism and nepotism is first used as a means of admitting students. If there is not even a single good in the school then why don't all the students leave and never return? The answer to that is quite obvious. Seems you have a lot bottled up within so deal with yourself and do not vent all that on someone you do not even know. A wonderful day to you too!

How can people be so wicked to set other people on fire and padlock them in. The school autthority should bring out the three boys that set that room on fire to be prosecuted.

I graduated from Madonna last year"........through out my stay I never paid any fine, nor got harassed by anyone, though some of the hall reps got on my nerves once or twice, but it wasn't a big deal, now, my point is.......Madonna university has it rules, it's do's and dont 's. if u do what is right, follow their rules, it will be well with you, compare to 2007 when I got admitted, the school has improved, and no one should talk I'll of father edeh......rem. what the bible says.most of the people who speak I'll of the school, are the once who got expelled, or who Neva got the chance to leave school when they wanted to, and who were told to pay fine.......if u know find trouble, trouble no go find you! The school is a good school , trust my word on that......I will advice anyone to go there, don't just study Medcine

GOZIE told a friend to lock him and the three other guys inside the room so no one would come begging for their camera phones bacause he seized a lot of camnera phones from students that very night. the incident was bluetoothed due to the 500level students he expelled.

linda i am a graduate of this same school and i graduated 2011,believe me or not but i strongly believe that FATHER EDEH(useless and fake bastard) is using people's children for some kind of rituals,strange and funny deaths are always happening to students,either when still in the school or immediately after graduation,that evil bastards that hides under the catholic church to deceive parents and the masses at large should be shot in the head with an armored tank,the standard of living in madonna university okija is worst than those in the prisons(atleast the prisoners are there for a reason)this is just the tip of the iceberg,u need to spend 4 good years(that is if they will allow you graduate at the stipulated time)to actually experience the evil the whole madonna university is all about,this is one of numerous cases,even things worse than this had happened,is happening and will still happen if that school is not shut down for good,we pay so much money and we still leave like refugees in madonna university okija,we are treated like it is a free education for ex terrorists,words alone can not express how bitter i am that nobody is even bothered to look into what is really happening behind the 4 walls of that shrine called madonna university,i will gladly and joyfully strangle FATHER EDEH without any regret,i cursed the day i accepted madonna's admission bcz snz that day i lived all tru my 4 years in regrets and hatred for catholics becoz this evil doers make you think that is what the catholic doctrine is all about but it is not in the real world,please please please if anybody has any useful contact to NDI BOKO or AL QAEDA i am willing to pay them to kill that asshole called FATHER EDEH,then those hungry old men and women that calls themselves NUC officials will be in their houses one day and train will come into their bedrooms and kill them becoz they know their jobs but they only come to madonna weneva they are broke and feel like eating chicken and taking pictures,they end up roaming round the school like stray goats without shepherds,collect bribes and overlook the very obvious,if only you can give a topic or an open session for only madonna students to come and give the ordeals,hide their identities cz sum will tell you so many tinz that you will not even believe happened or is happening becoz they hv been living if fears of been expelled if they say what they know or have seen.linda just try it and specify that only madonna students,graduates and under graduates should share what they know then you will see that not even man wearing a white long garment with a very big evil walking stick is a reverend father
