UNILAG Releases Statement Over Student's Death From Electrocution

I am still stupefied at the news of the young Unilag student who got electrocuted in school yesterday when a high tension wire fell on her.

According to reports, she came out of the New Hall hostel to see her boyfriend when this unfortunate incident occurred. Unfortunately she was dead by the time she was rushed to the hospital.

Read the statement from the university below.  

The University of Lagos Students' Union regrets to announce the passing away of one of us, our very own OLUCHI ANEKWE, a 300 level student of the department of Accounting. 

Oluchi, till her death, was a first class student, and a very active student in class. 

Our condolence goes to her families, relatives and friends. We pray that God will grant them the fortitude to bear the loss. 

The event that led to her death is in its entirety avoidable. We hereby call on all concerned authorities to swing into action so as to prevent future occurrence.

In this regard, we hereby declare that all academic and social activities of the school and of the students' are hereby suspended for today and no unnecessary sound around the campus in honour of the lost soul.

The entire University of Lagos Students loved her, but God in His wisdom saw fit to embrace her. 

We shall surely miss her. Oluchi, GOODNIGHT. 

Signed;
