According to the vice chancellor, the management sympathises very deeply with family members and the entire university community.
The statement read: “Atere, a 22-year-old student was on a commercial motorcycle when she was knocked down by a car, along the Camp-Alabata Road, around the Ogun-Oshun River Basin Development Authority, OORBDA, gate, in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
“When the sad incident occurred, some Good Samaritans brought two unidentified victims of the accident to a private clinic at Camp.
“Miss Atere was later discovered to be one of them. She was given first aid treatment before being referred to the Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Abeokuta, for better medical attention due to the severity of the injuries sustained. Unfortunately, she passed on.
“However, contrary to unfounded allegations of negligence, made by some individuals against the University, Atere was never brought to the University Health Centre for treatment, hence, no doctor had the opportunity to quickly examine her and arrive at a decision on the most appropriate form of medical treatment. Nevertheless, the University ambulance was despatched to the private clinic at camp, when a request was made.”
The death of the student sparked angry protests from students of the university who accused the institution’s medical unit of negligence in the handling of her case.
