Yaba Tech Students Stage Protest Over Colleague’s Death

Students of the Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech) in Lagos State on Wednesday staged a protest over the death of one of their colleagues.

The students were unhappy with the attention given to a female student, Dazan Charity, who fell ill some days ago and died on Wednesday.

A friend of the deceased alleged that Charity was not attended to because they were unable to get 35,000 Naira requested by the medical attendants.

Witnesses said they had to buy drugs, injection, and even drip that was used in treating Charity.

The students maintained that they wanted the school hospital campus scrapped or the institution probed while the medical centre be fully equipped.

The deceased student was reported to have been buried at Atan cemetery in Lagos.

Charity, 27, was a final year student of Office Management Technology and was sitting for her final exams.
