ODUDUWA WAS gathered that life of the slain student, identified as Nifemi Asefon would have been saved if not for the failure of the staff of LAUTECH Teaching Hospital to give him quick medical attention he needed before he finally gave up the ghost.
It was learnt that the incident occurred at his hostel along 1500lth in school area when he wanted to switch electricity and got paralyzed.
An eyewitness who spoke with media immediately after the incident explained that Nifemi was rushed to LAUTECH teaching hospital and wasn’t attended to.
He said: Staffs at the hospital said they have to get a call from the Dean of Students Affairs before attending to him and they had to take him to Bowen, unfortunately before getting there he is already dead.
Nifemi’s death has made some aggrieved students to threaten total shutdown at the Teaching hospital. They are protesting that their colleague could have been saved if the health institution had taken the case as an emergency and gave him the necessary treatment before asking of details like the DSA.
The health institution on the other hand are claiming that their request of the DSA was to relate the news of the passing away to an elderly person, that the student was brought in dead.
Meanwhile, efforts to speak with the Dean of Students affairs proved abortive as calls and texts sent to him were unreturned at the time of filling this reports.
