The incident happened outside the campus in Aliero community on Saturday night, February 27. The deceased student was reportedly set to graduate in a week’s time.
Details of the incident are still sketchy, however, according to information gathered from Facebook, Sharif reportedly bought a phone and transferred the said sum to the owner.
The deceased student received a debit alert but when he arrived the campus he realised that the mobile transaction failed or bounced back so he decided to go back and resend the money to the owner.
