The Ogun State Police Command has commenced an investigation into the sudden death of a 20-year-old graduate of Information Technology from Babcock University, Ilisan Remo.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the deceased, identified as Akawa Boluwatife Samuel, was brought to the Babcock University Teaching Hospital by his roommates on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, where he was confirmed dead by the attending medical doctor.
According to police detectives who visited the scene, one of the deceased’s roommates, Adili Leonard Chimdindu, disclosed that Boluwatife had complained of cold and difficulty breathing on July 27 and was advised to visit the University Medical Centre.
Chimdindu said they were on campus to complete their clearance process ahead of graduation, and that Boluwatife had planned to return home shortly.
He further stated that the deceased appeared to be in good spirits the night before and played games on his laptop until around 11:00 p.m. He was, however, found unresponsive the following morning.
Photographs of the deceased were taken by the police, and the statement of his elder brother, Akawa Toluwanimi John, was recorded.
The body has been deposited at the university morgue for autopsy and preservation. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of death.
