The bodies were found by a housemate who went to their room around 10 am on the fateful day to wake them up after they were not seen in the morning as usual. There were no signs of break-in nor struggle which made the police not to discount the possibility of drug overdose. Police ordered post-mortem to ascertain the cause of death and are doing background checks on the two with interviews of their friends and associates, according to City police CID chief SAC II Ku Chin Wah.

The post-mortem was carried out yesterday at Hospital University Kebangsaan Malaysia in Cheras, and police are awaiting the result. Dr Norfadzillah speaking to reporters said UCSI had notified the deceased families in Nigeria and the Nigerian High Commission in Malaysia of the death of the two students.

Ibrahim Hamidun, Consulate Officer of the Nigerian High Commission speaking to reporters, advised them not to speculate on the deaths. “It has already been bad for us. We, Africans, have been wrongly accused for the recent Kepong murders and two of our people have been arrested without any solid proof,” Hamidun was quoted as saying.
