After eight years of academic sojourn at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, the parents of Benard Asefon and his siblings expected him to return home before embarking on the mandatory one-year National Youth Service scheme. But sadly, that expectation was cut short in a cruel manner. Death took away Ashefon.
The late student, who studied Animal Nutrition and Biotechnology, was said to have died after an electric pole fell on a septic tank which caved in and he sank into the pit.
Some of his colleagues told our correspondent that the deceased climbed a ladder to change his hostel’s switch on a nearby electric pole. The changeover switch at the hostel where he had lived for eight years was said to be faulty and he decided to rectify it for the occupants to enjoy electricity.
