Simon Adokwu, a 22-year-old student of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), has died after slumping while playing football on campus.
Adokwu, a student of social work, died while playing football on campus after returning from church on Sunday, November 13.
Alagba Ibraheem, spokesperson for the university who confirmed his death, said the 22-year-old told his friends that he was sick before going to the pitch to play football.
However, in the course of playing, his teammates turned around and noticed that he had slumped.
“They moved closer and tried to raise him but at that point, he was completely motionless. His friends took him to the medical centre, and they immediately tried to resuscitate him but unfortunately, he was dead,” she added.
