From Crucifixion Mass To Drainage Canal: Nursing Student’s Tragic Journey

What other way to describe the tragic end of a 23 year old nursing student than from crucifixion mass to drainage canal.

For that was the summary sketch of the movement of Pretty Elizabeth Ukah, a student of the Federal College of Nursing Sciences, Calabar that culminated in her untimely death.

She had indeed attended the Good Friday Mass and participated in the Stations of the Cross at Holy Family Catholic Church, Big Qua Town, Calabar.

Like others, she had participated in the crucifixion mass, as a justification of her faith not knowing that fate indeed had another offer for her, almost immediately after.

She was allegedly on her way back when the worse happened, according to a Facebook report by a user,   Journalist Agba Jalingo.

Throwing light on what must have happened, Jalingo said Elizabeth was suspected to have been swept away by flood while returning home.

According to the post: “A dead body of 23-year-old Ukah, a female student of the Federal Nursing Science College Calabar, was found in a drainage five days after Good Friday.
