Tragedy In Fuoye by zeyheed(m): 2:11am On Feb 01, 2015
Fresh crisis is brewing at the Federal
University, Oye Ekiti, Ekiti state over the
sudden death of Falana Blessing, a fresh
student of the institution on Thursday.
Late Falana was of the Department of Social
Demography and Statistics and was
reported to be a sickle cell patient, who
was on drugs before her admission into the
institution.
However, as a part of the requirements for
her registration, she was to undergo a medical
test at the school'4 health centre.
A student, who confided in our correspondent
disclosed that the test conducted on her at the
school's health centre made a wrong
diagnosis and declared her an A.S.
"Crisis set in and this weakened her and she
was rushed to the health centre where a
further test carried out by a superior officer
confirmed her as a sickle cell patient. But
things have gone worse as she passed on a
few minutes she was rushed to the hospital."
The diseased's untimely death was said to
have angered the students of the institution
who immediately mobolised for a showdown
with the school.
But the prompt response of school's security
operatives o and those of the police saved the
situation from degenerating.
The students accused the management of
"deliberately" killing their colleague and
vowed to drag the Vice Chancellor, Prof Isaac
Azuzu, before court to explain what was
responsible for the death of the student.
They accused the school's mangement of poor
funding the health centre saying the centre
lacked essential drugs capable of treating
critical ailments.
registration.
"I don't know why the school's management
has not deemed it fit to allow us to unionise
to enable our union fight our cause," the
student said.
However, the Vice Chancellor of the
University, Professor Isaac Azuzu, denied the
culpability of the University in the death of
the student, "For the records the deceased
was a sickler. She had crisis and was rushed
into the University Health Centre where she
unfortunately gave up the ghost after medical
attempts failed to rescue the situation. There
was no case of wrong diagnosis.
"The university is actually mourning the
deceased who was expected to
matriculate on February 6 2015.
Meanwhile, the management of the institution
has set up a panel to try 15 members of staff
suspected to be leaders of a protest staged
against the vice chancellor sometimes in
December, last year.
The staff had gone on the rampage accusing
Prof Isaac Azuzu of maladministration,
highhandedness and denying staff of their
entitlements. Initially, the 15 were said to
have vowed not to appear before the panel
accusing the school of victimisation since all
the staff took part in the protest.
Also, Professor Azuzu said there was no iota of
truth in the story that some staff of the
University were being hunted over their
participation in any protest, " there is no truth
in the allegation that leaders of the Dec
protests are being victimized. There is no case
of victimization of staff in FUOYE. Anybody
making this spurious claim should also
produce evidence"Azuzu said.
