Ebonyi State University student hospitalised after 41-day fasting

An Ebonyi State University (EBSU) student identified as Ikechukwu Oke, has been hospitalised after allegedly engaging in fasting and praying for 41 days.

A schoolmate said he engaged in the 41-day fast because of the challenges his family has been facing lately.

Christian Nwaokpa told Punch “He is from Ebiaji in Ezza North LGA. It is his nature.

“As it stands now, men of goodwill and ambassadors are on the way conveying him to the Accident and Emergency Ward in Federal Teaching Hospital in Abakaliki.”
