A prank is a lighthearted and playful act, often used to surprise and deceive someone, usually for entertainment purposes.
They are meant to add humor and excitement to a situation, like a birthday party or a sleepover, and can also be used to play a joke on a friend or family member, like putting clear wrap across a doorway or setting a fake parking ticket on someone’s car. Recently, a fresh graduate of the Department of Quantity Surveying, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Ifunanya Miracle, lost her life while escaping from a prank robbery on the premises of the school in the Awka area of Anambra State. Another female student and friend of the deceased, who was also present, sustained injuries too. This incident isn’t the first time unsuspecting persons were jostled beyond their emotional balance.
