Covenant University confirms student's death
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Covenant University had confirmed the death of its student named Toluwase Jesutunmise Emmanuel.
The university, through a statement signed by Vice-Chancellor Professor Timothy A. Anake, attributed the student’s death to a previously undisclosed heart condition and denied claims of negligence or lack of medical equipment. The university said Jesutunmise had stepped out of a football match, part of the Chancellor’s Cup tournament, after complaining of leg pains and fatigue.
Fellow students reportedly saw him struggling to breathe and quickly carried him to the campus medical centre, but he had stopped breathing before reaching the facility. According to the statement, doctors administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using an automated external defibrillator (AED), but all efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.
