A 200-level student of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, whose identity could not be immediately ascertained, has died after reportedly falling off a moving campus shuttle bus.
The Students’ Union Government disclosed this in a statement jointly signed by its President, Kehinde Bamgbose; General Secretary, Olajire Emmanuel; and Public Relations Officer, Olamide Salau, on Tuesday.
According to the union, the incident occurred at the school gate when passengers alighted from the shuttle bus and were preparing to re-enter it.
The union alleged that an unidentified individual who was not supposed to be on the bus occupied the seat previously used by the deceased, leading to a disagreement.
It said that rather than resolving the situation, the driver reportedly instructed the student to attach himself to the moving vehicle so they could continue their journey.
The union said the student fell off before the bus reached Mosque Junction and became unconscious.
He was subsequently rushed to the university’s Mini Campus Health Centre for medical attention. However, the union alleged that the presentation of his student identification card was demanded before treatment could be administered.
