We commiserate and identify with the family, friends, and fellow students of the deceased on this very painful loss of a promising student.
“The University is particularly saddened by the circumstances leading to his death.
“From available information, the deceased student along with others were involved in an accident outside the campus around 10 PM on August 2, 2021.
They were first taken to a private hospital, where doctors battled to save their lives.
“Three of the students were stabilized, but Daniel’s condition remained critical. When the state of the student deteriorated, the doctor at the hospital referred him to the Federal Medical Center, Owo, for expert intervention.
“At that time, the parents of the student and some relatives had joined him at the private hospital and it was decided, because of the time factor, to bring him to the University Health Center at 3:20 AM and the doctor on duty promptly attended to the student in the care of the parents.
“According to him, all resuscitative efforts proved abortive; there was no cardiac activity and response to any stimuli. And by 3:40 AM he declared that he was brought in clinically dead.
“The doctor offered to take the boy to the morgue with the University ambulance but the parents declined, electing to take him ostensibly for burial.
“The medical report from the private hospital which was brought along with him indicates that the student was clinically non-responsive by 1:30 AM.
“The death is unfortunate and regrettable.
Also in the statement, the Management sympathized with Dj 9jabaz’s family and friends, promising to investigate the cause that led to his death and swift recovery of the other injured students.

“We pray that the Almighty God will grant the family and friends of the deceased the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss,” the statement added.
