The management of the University of
Lagos has closed down the school,
following the protests that broke out
on Wednesday.
Students barricaded the entrance of
the school premises, as they
expressed their anger over the death
of their colleague, Oluchi Anekwe,
who was electrocuted on Tuesday
night in front of New Hall of
residence in the institution.
It was a scene of chaos, as the
students chanted wildly and some of
them waved leaves and sticks.
DAILY POST recalls that a female
student of the school was killed by
high tension cable in front of
Sodeinde Hall of residence on the
campus.
It was gathered that the female
student was walking along the “New
Hall” bus stop when a high voltage
electric cable fell off the pole,
striking her to death.
The student was immediately rushed
to the Lagos University Teaching
Hospital (LUTH), but gave up before
the ambulance conveying her could
reach the hospital.
Although firefighters were called to
the scene, they soon left after taking
the victim from the scene, leaving
the entire area without cordoning it
off or placing caution tape around it.
