A 17-year-old teenager who scored distinction in the 2019 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) has died mysteriously.

The bight girl became a social media sensation just a year ago when her result hit the internet and the sheer display of intelligence she exuded was admirable.

Well, the grim news coming in from Nigeria gives the account that Chisom Chukwuneke, who emerged the best student of her school Graceland college in Enugu last year has passed away.

Reports had it that she was recovering from a sickness she was down with but could not afford to defeat it as the icy hand of death was laid on her which has transitioned her to eternal rest. Sad!

A photo of her as she sat on her hospital bed has been shared online. Her obituary reveals she died on October 18 in a hospital in South Africa.

She will be buried on Tuesday, December 1, in Okpuno village, Umuogali, Oba, Idemili South Anambra state.
