A 25-year-old seminarian at the Claratian University of Nigeria, Nekede, in Owerri, Imo State, Suel Ambrose has lost his life when he slumped and died while acting in a drama on Good Friday.

It was gathered that Ambrose, a native of Benue State was acting out the character of Peter in the Bible as part of activities marking the crucifixion of Jesus Christ when he slumped, causing panic and pandemonium among the seminarians and passersby as frantic efforts to revive the deceased failed.

One of the students interviewed by newsmen, with the name Mavis, said Ambrose, a first-year student of Philosophy died on the spot.

The student said: “He was playing the role of the biblical Peter in the dream to demonstrate how Peter cut the ear of one of the Roman soldiers who came to arrest Christ and Jesus fixed the ear and as the drama was going on he slumped and died.

“So the young man fell on the floor and started bleeding. We took him to our school hospital and the doctors did their best to revive him but he was not responding.

“We took him to the Federal Medical Centre in Owerri and that was where he was certified dead.

“The drama was in commemoration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in respect to the Easter celebration. He was born in 1997. He is a year one student and had the dream of becoming a priest in the Catholic Church.”

The Students Affairs Officer of the university, Fr Chukwuemeka Iheme, told newsmen that the institution would brief the public after the “authority gives us permission to do so.”
