A student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Ajibola Heritage was reported dead after falling into a soakaway at BVer hostel.
Findings revealed that part of the soakaway had already collapsed and was covered with a plank to cover the exposed part.
“The school firemen and that of the state government were at the venue to rescue her, but it took about one hour before they could break into the soakaway and pull her out”, the source said.
Abiodun, in a statement, said the University Management is saddened by the unfortunate incident.
“When the news got to us, we immediately mobilised the firemen 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.
“The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Eyitope Ogunbodede, who led his management team to the scene, sympathised with the students and commiserated with the parents of the deceased.
“Professor Ogunbodede, who described the incidence as tragic and unacceptable, promised to critically look into the circumstances that led to the student’s death and mete out appropriate sanctions against those involved or whoever is found culpable.
