A 200-level student of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, has died after falling from a moving campus shuttle bus near the main university gate on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
According to a joint statement by the Students’ Union Government (SUG), the incident occurred when a dispute arose over seating arrangements at the campus gate.
The union alleged that the shuttle driver instructed the student to attach himself to the exterior of the moving vehicle to continue the journey.
The student lost his footing, fell near Mosque Junction, and was rushed unconscious to the university’s Mini Campus Health Centre, where union leaders alleged medical staff demanded a student ID card before administering emergency treatment. The student died shortly after arrival.
Following the tragic loss, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ayodeji Agboola, announced the immediate suspension of all academic activities and lectures for Tuesday, November 10, and Wednesday, November 11, with lectures set to resume on Thursday, November 12.
Police have taken the bus driver into custody, while student leaders demand a comprehensive investigation into driver regulation, roadworthiness standards, and health facility emergency protocols.
"The reported instruction to a student to attach himself to a moving vehicle is unacceptable and dangerous. In an emergency, preserving life must take precedence over administrative requirements." — OOU Students’ Union Government Statement
