A 200-level Business Administration student of Olabisi Onabanjo University, identified as AJ, has reportedly died after falling from a moving campus shuttle. According to the Students’ Union, the incident followed a disagreement over a seat, after which the driver allegedly instructed him to hold on to the moving vehicle. The union also alleged that medical personnel at the university’s Mini Campus Health Centre demanded his student identification card before treatment could be administered.
The tragedy has raised serious concerns about student transportation safety, emergency medical response and accountability within the university. Following the incident, the institution suspended academic activities for two days, while the Students’ Union called for a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the student’s death.
