A 200-level student of the Department of Linguistics and African Languages, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Miss Ajibola Ayomikun, has died after she fell into a soakaway in BVER, one of the private hostels in the students’ village.

The Public Relations Officer of the University, Abiodun Olarewaju, confirmed the incident to The PUNCH.

He stated that the University Management is saddened by the “unfortunate incidence”.

“When the news got to us, we immediately mobilised the emergency responders from the University, Osun State, and the OAU Teaching Hospital who through concerted efforts got the student out.

“She was immediately taken to the OAU Teaching Hospitals Complex where she was certified dead,” he said.

In a subsequent statement, the Vice-Chancellor of OAU, Prof. Eyitope Ogunbodede, was said to lead the varsity’s management team to the scene, sympathised with the students and commiserated with the parents of the deceased.

Sad.


So many unnecessary deaths in this country.



Death traps everywhere !


Someone should be held accountable for this avoidable death.

May her gentle soul rest in peace

May God grant her eternal rest.

If that’s the picture of the septic tank she fell into, the owner of the building should be arrested and imprisoned for murder. Why would you build such and not have it covered ?

Terrible death trap...all in the name of looking for a cheap hostel

Your comments lack reasoning and careful thought. What has cheap hostel got to do with this? You talk as if you're immortal. May God forgive you
