Covenant University Student Dies After Medical Centre Lacks Oxygen

Covenant University is in mourning after Tunmise, a 500-level Building Technology student, collapsed during the Chancellor’s Cup match and was rushed to the campus clinic. According to eyewitnesses, the medical centre had no oxygen or nebulizer. Staff and university leaders turned to prayers, and Pastor Oyedepo later joined, but Tunmise stopped breathing minutes later. His parents were only informed three hours after he died. Students fear speaking out. They allege the school switched off WiFi and blocked personal data to control the narrative. Similar deaths in 2017 and June 2025 highlight the clinic’s ongoing lack of emergency equipment.
