Some students on Tuesday have gathered to protest at the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo State, after a student died as a result of the negligence of the school authorities to provide emergency assistance.

Reports say the students were allegedly returning from club on Monday morning around 7am, before the collision happened along Oba Adesida road, opposite Cathedral in Akure, the Ondo State’s capital.

Five students were allegedly in the vehicle, a Toyota Corolla which was left damaged after the accident. One student died, after the friends tried to get an ambulance to rush him for treatment, but they were told by the school health workers that the vehicle had no fuel to move.

Before the students got to the school’s health centre, they were delayed by the sheriffs (security) much to the dismay of the students.

As at the time of filing this report, The Crest found out that the nickname of the deceased is 9jabaz but his department is not yet known.

“A FUTA student has died – an incident, which could be averted but for the wicked act of the School security officials shutting the gates against the friends of the victim who were trying to get into the school to call on the health workers for help with ambulance. When they eventually got in, the health workers refused them, saying there was no fuel in the ambulance.

“The student died eventually. Students are planning to protest at the moment. The student died due to the negligence of the school security and the health centre,” the source revealed.

The school authorities have yet to officially react to the incident.

Details soon.
