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 studentsā€™ village.

The Public Relations Officer of the University, Abiodun Olarewaju, confirmed the incident. He stated that the University Management is saddened by the ā€œunfortunate incidenceā€.

ā€œWhen 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.
ā€œShe was immediately taken to the OAU Teaching Hospitals Complex where she was certified dead,ā€ he said.

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

Ogunbodede, who described the incidence as ā€œtragic and unacceptableā€, promised to ā€œcritically look into the circumstances that led to the studentā€™s death and mete out appropriate sanctions against those involved or whoever is found culpableā€.
The VC, therefore, appealed to the students to remain calm and law-abiding as the police, who have been briefed, are also investigating.
