A Nigerian student at the Cyprus International University, Tiombe
David Afeah, has died after falling to his death at his apartment in
Cyprus.

According to friends of the deceased, Tiombe was residing in a rented
apartment close to his school. On Friday January 11th, his landlord
came knocking for his house rent and out of fear that he couldn’t
fulfill his payment after owing for so many months, Tiombe decided to
scale his balcony with the hope of hiding somewhere nearby until his
landlord leaves. Sadly, he jumped and hit his head on the floor. He
suffered a brain injury and was in the hospital until Wednesday January
16th when he died.

A service of songs was organised for him by his friends and colleagues in Cyprus last Friday January 18th.
