A survivor of the party at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu State, where four students died and six others were hospitalised, has recounted how he lost consciousness while cleaning up after another attendee vomited during the gathering.

The 24-year-old survivor also disclosed that it was his first time consuming alcohol, expressing regret over the experience and vowing never to drink again.

He spoke in an interview with Vanguard on Friday, where he narrated how he attended the gathering after being invited by a friend identified as David, who organised the party to celebrate the completion of his examinations.

According to him, the party started at about 11.30pm at an apartment in the Hilltop area of Nsukka, with about 10 people in attendance.

He said the attendees played truth or dare and shared two bottles of alcoholic drinks, Magic Moments and Best, which were poured into party cups in small quantities.

“My friend organised the party and invited me. He said I should come. Then, he brought Magic Moments and Best. We bought them and took them home.

“The party began around 11.30pm. We started playing games, truth or dare. It is just like a fun game where if you are told to say the truth, you say the truth about something, and if they dare you to do something, you do it,” he said.

The survivor said the game was purely for entertainment and that participants were not paid to take part.

Recounting how he collapsed, he said one of the male attendees vomited during the gathering, prompting him to help the person clean up.
