A senior professor at OAU collapsed during a departmental meeting and was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital where he was rushed to.
The Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) community in Ile-Ife, Osun State, is mourning the sudden passing of a senior professor, Jimoh Olanipekun.
He reportedly collapsed during a departmental meeting and could not be revived despite receiving medical attention.
According to a statement from the university’s Public Relations Officer, Olanipekun was in a meeting when his colleagues noticed he was struggling to breathe. “During a departmental meeting this morning, it was noticed by his colleagues that he was breathing abnormally. He was immediately rushed to the University Health and Medical Centre,” the statement read.
Despite the swift response, his condition worsened, leading to his referral to the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex (OAUTHC). Sadly, he was later pronounced dead.
