A 100 level student of the University of Lagos identified as
Temitope Omolara died on Thursday, March 23rd after she
reportedly went out with an unidentified man.
According to Nigerian Tribune, the deceased was said to
have returned to the campus after the outing feeling sick,
with her friends reporting that she was seen vomiting,
including blood on a number of occasions.
Temitope was said to have finally died at an undisclosed
hospital outside the campus on Thursday. Her remains were
buried on Friday, March 25th.
Details of the circumstances leading to her death still remain
fuzzy. The university authority, on Sunday evening, reacted
to a tweet, which alleged that the student had died at the
university’s medical centre.
A statement signed by the Public Relations Officer of the
university, Mr Toyin Adebule, also discredited claims in the
tweet that the school had ejected some students from their
halls of residence in connection with the incident.
"Information available so far indicates that she called
someone (some say, relations, others say male) to come and
pick her from the hall. Later information filtered into the hall
that she had died" the statement reads.
"I wish to state that the story about the Medical Centre is
false. Definitely, the incident did not happen in the medical
centre contrary to the claim in the Twitter massage. Lastly,
there is no formal report from the hall to the DSA on the
incident. Therefore, no action could have been taken to eject
the bona fide student as claimed. Let me state categorically
here that no student has been ejected from the hall over this
matter. At this moment our thoughts are with the family."
