Management, Friends Mourn As Osun Poly Final Year Student Dies After Last Exam

A final year student of the Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, Omorinsola Apeke, has reportedly died after writing her examination.

Apeke, a graduating Higher National Diploma student at the Microbiology Department reportedly died on Tuesday night some few hours after her last paper.

One of the course mates of the deceased told Journalists on Wednesday that Apeke was slightly sick before she sat her last examination.

She said that the student was rushed to the sick bay where she was attended to and she became stable.

“She did her last paper at the medical centre before she was eventually discharged.

“However, when she got home, she went to a party to celebrate the completion of her programme in the school. When she got home from the party she had another chronic asthma attack. She was rushed to several hospitals before she eventually gave up the ghost.”

Many of her friends, who expressed shock at her denise on social media, mourned her on Wednesday

The Public Relations Officer of the institution, Mr Tope Abiola, confirmed the death of the student to journalists.

He said, “The lady completed here exams yesterday. She went back to her residence outside the school after the exam. She later went out with her friends. She later had a health crisis which resulted in her death.

“The school sympathises with the the parent of the deceased, her friends and mates. It is not easy to nurse a child to that level and died on the last day she completed her last paper of the HND programme. We commiserate with the family. We pray that God will give the parent the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. It is very disheartening and painful that she suddenly die like that after passing through rigorous academic efforts.”
