OAU student dies after falling into ‘soakaway’

A student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Ajibola Heritage has been reported dead after falling into a soakaway at BVer hostel.

It was gathered that the deceased, a part two student of Linguistics and African Languages, was trying to spread her clothes when she mistakenly stepped on a plank used to cover part of the septic tank and the plank collapsed under her leg, then she fell into the tank.

An eyewitness account said it took men of Osun Fire service and those of the school about one hour to break into the soakaway to pull her out.

“The school firemen and those of the state government were at the venue to rescue her, but it took about one hour before they could break into the soakaway and pull her out”, the source said.
