The Management of Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education has confirmed the death of a senior lecturer, simply identified as Mr Echetama, who slumped and died in a lecture hall on Tuesday.

The Acting Public Relations Officer of the college, Mr Joseph Okwulehi, who confirmed the death to newsmen in his office on Wednesday, said the Provost of the college is engrossed in a series of emergency meetings over the issue.

He said the management has advised the staff and students of the institution to be calm and wait for the official position of the institution on the issue.

“I can confirm to you that a senior lecturer slumped in a classroom on Tuesday and was confirmed dead at the Federal Medical Center, Owerri.

NAN reports that Echetama, until his death, was a senior lecturer at the Department of Business Education.

Meanwhile, the development has forced students to keep away from lectures over an emerging rumour that the sudden death of the lecturer was connected to COVID-19.

Students were seen on Wednesday vacating school hostels, while others fled the school premises for the fear of contracting the dreaded virus.

Some of the students who spoke to NAN said they decided to avoid lectures when the rumour emerged that the lecturer died of Coronavirus complication.

A final year student of the institution, Mr Frederick Anyawu, said the development has forced lecturers to suspend lectures.

He said students decided to keep away from the college until the issue is sorted out.

Another student in the department of economics, Mr Okechukwu Eze, said the development has caused skeletal activities in the institution.

RIP

This one that we hear people dying every moment!

What is going on?

Well, me think that in those days,people used to die in the same manner and quantity that we are witnessing these days.

The only difference is that online news was not common for us to be hearing the news of death as we are currently hearing.

The level of bad news does not increase compared to those days.The only thing is that we are now aware of the bad news due to posting of news online.

In fact,in those days, terrible things use to happen which were not well heard of.

I would not forget the women who died in accident and their blood soaked the garri they went to buy for commercial purpose.

I would not forget the turning of people into yam,goats and the appearance of a woman who killed so many people by spitting water from her mouth.

I would not forget the lady who was admitted into the University of Uyo as a student.

She befriend a boy student of the same faculty.

On her graduation, she asked the boy student to follow her to her house.

But to the shock of the boy student, she took him to the river near University of Uyo.

The river rose up and she said to the boy "My home is inside this river. I would be coming to see you some day"

She told the boy student that she was sent to the earth from the river.

Her mission was to study and get a certificate, and she had just completed the mission.


She was with her certificate.

Having said all,she disappeared into the river, with her certificate.

The boy student was so afraid he ran to the pastor and asked to be given the feet of Jesus to touch.

My father was the principal field health supervisor of the University of Uyo and the story was told all over the campus.

There were other fearful and mysterious happenings in those days which if it were to happen now,it would shock the hell out of some people.

But it was not well reported as we have now.

RIP

Many Nigerians are Sick.... Asymptomatic sickness. God help us all

Corona?

Covid could cause such death, due to depleted oxygen level in the blood leading to sudden collapse and death, but mainly its heart failure, so you don’t know until investigation is complete.

alvan ikoku na where I do ppa that year miss those old days.

Its well

CPR will soon be a thing of the past because of fear of Covid-19. Maybe assuming that was done immediately by the students , he may have had a chance of survival...RIP Sir

So covid wil just kill without severe symthoms. Well, its a college of education. So the students are allowed to have a thinking ceiling

Maybe he shd have retired now....

That is not covid. Can never be covid. In fact IT IS NOT covid.

Overworked, overstressed, medical /health issue NOT CORO . The lazy lecturers should go back to class or the govt too should tell dem dat their salary is infested with Coro too.
