An Italian-based Nigerian volleyball star, Julia Ituma, has reportedly plunged to her death after jumping from a 6th-floor hotel window in Turkey.
Julia before her death was 18 years old playing volleyball for the Italian team in Turkey. She stood out among her colleagues playing in the same thing.
However, her career was short-lived after falling from the window of her hotel room which was on the 6th floor of the building.
The ugly incident happened a few hours after her team lost out on their Champions League semi-final clash. Julia Ituma was discovered dead on the morning of Thursday, April 13, at the hotel where she lodged in Istanbul, Turkey.
Circumstances surrounding her seem trivia as it doubts whether an 18 year would voluntarily fall from the 6th floor through her hotel room window without being pushed.
“Ugochukwu Babatunde Onuzulike, *Head Consular & Immigration Division* , Embassy of Nigeria, Rome has since sent condolences on behalf of the Ambassador to Julia’s family. death was mourned by the embassy as the loss of a person who had brought honour to both Nigeria and Italy,” he said
