Protest erupts as FUTA final-year student sl¥mps and di£s in his hostel.

A 500-level student of the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), Ayomide Akeredolu, has di£d after he sl¥mped in his hostel on Thursday, August 24, 2023.

The deceased, a student of Quantity Survey Department, sl¥mped and was reportedly rushed to the school’s health centre where he was confirmed d£ad.

His colleagues, who staged a protest at the Akure-Ilesa expressway on Friday, August 25, alleged that he di£d due to negligence at the school’s medical center.

A student, who claimed to be one of those who rushed the deceased to the hospital, stated that: “We rushed the guy to the health center around 8:30 pm, when we got there, there was power outage, and throughout the oxygen set up, CPR and inj£ctions they gave him, the light wasn’t restored, we had to use our flashlights, hard to believe that there’s no backup power supply in the hospital.”
