The Students Union of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State on Wednesday demanded for justice over a fellow student who died after falling into a soakaway at one of the school’s hostels, named Bver.
The deceased, Heritage Ajibola was a first-year female student in the Department of Linguistics and African Languages.
She was said to have accidentally fallen into a Soakaway that was not properly constructed.
In a statement, the Students Union President, Ogunperi Taofeek Olalekan said:
“This incident is highly unfortunate. The Union mourns her. May her soul rest in peace. May God give her family, friends and coursemates the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
“It must be noted that Heritage’s death was avoidable if the soakaway system was properly constructed and covered. It is saddening that this has happened despite the huge amounts of money paid by students for rent.
“The Management of the Hostel must answer for the death of Heritage. The Union is immediately demanding justice for Heritage, with a view to forestalling a possible reoccurrence of this.”
