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

The hospitalized student’s 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.”

This is coming barely a day after LIB reported that Zambian Pastor died of malnutrition on the 20th day of his 30-day fast.
