Sources indicate that the incident occurred around 8:50 pm on Thursday when Akeredolu was urgently taken to the University Health Centre.

However, it is claimed that he was not promptly attended to due to his colleagues’ inability to present identification confirming him as a student of the university.

In response, the incident prompted a protest by angered friends and fellow students, who rallied for justice in Akeredolu’s name.

Reacting to the situation, CityNews Nigeria reports that Mr Adegbenro Adebanjo, the Director of Corporate Communication at FUTA, denied the allegations. He stated that Akeredolu had collapsed in his dormitory, and despite medical attempts at resuscitation, including at the Health Centre, medical professionals were unable to revive him. The doctors reportedly determined that he had already passed away upon arrival.

Regarding the protest that followed, Adebanjo clarified that it wasn’t directly linked to Akeredolu’s death but rather stemmed from perceived issues with services at the University Health Centre. A meeting between student representatives and university management resulted in the identification of deficiencies in the process of accessing health services. The management pledged to promptly address these concerns, with ongoing reviews to ensure satisfactory implementation.
