A 200-level student of the Department of Business Administration, Lagos State University (LASU), identified simply as Israel, has been confirmed dead after he slumped while playing football with his colleagues.

Though reports about the incident are sketchy, some of his friends and colleagues alleged that the student died after several hospitals he was taken to for medical care rejected him.

A post shared by one Jesutosin Oloruntosin Oluwatosin on a LASU Students Facebook group on Monday, April 24, 2023, said the student went to play football and ‘fainted’ on the field. He was taken to a general hospital and three other hospitals but was allegedly turned away and subsequently passed on.
