OOU Student Dies After Falling from Moving Shuttle Amid Dispute

A 200-level Business Administration student at Olabisi Onabanjo University, known as AJ, has died after falling from a moving campus shuttle. This incident occurred on November 12, 2026, and was reportedly linked to a disagreement over seating on the shuttle.

According to the Students’ Union, the driver of the shuttle instructed AJ to hang onto the vehicle as it moved. This led to the tragic fall that resulted in his death.

There are also claims that medical staff at the university’s Mini Campus Health Centre refused to provide treatment until they received AJ’s student identification card. This has raised concerns about how emergency medical situations are handled at the university.

The incident has sparked outrage among students and raised serious questions about safety during student transportation and the accountability of university staff. In response to the tragedy, the university has suspended academic activities for two days.

The Students’ Union is calling for a thorough investigation into the events surrounding AJ’s death, emphasizing the need for better safety measures and emergency response protocols.
