A senior lecturer at Kogi State University, Dr. Olabode Abimbola Ibikunle, has died in a hotel room after an alleged sexual encounter with a 22-year-old 200-level student.
The incident reportedly occurred on Tuesday, July 15. According to sources, Dr. Ibikunle, known for his strictness and alleged exploitation of female students, had checked into the hotel after consuming multiple energy drinks.
He collapsed and died during the encounter. The student was arrested and transferred to the State CID for further investigation. Police confirmed the incident, calling it unfortunate.
Giving details, Aya said: “The report was received on July 16, but the unfortunate incident happened on July 15, 2025. It was the manager of the hotel (name not disclosed), named Moses Friday, who came to the police station at Anyigba and reported about his guest, the lecturer who had lodged in their facility with a 22-year-old 200-level student, 22 years old, named Gloria Samuel.
“According to the manager, the girl on that fateful day rushed to the reception and complained that the lecturer took her to the hotel, and after they had s*x, the man slumped.
“So the manager rushed and informed the DPO, and the DPO rushed to the scene, and they moved the man to the hospital. On arrival, a doctor on duty confirmed the lecturer’s de@th.
“So the girl in question has been transferred from Anyigba Police Division to the State CID for further investigation and prosecution. An autopsy has been conducted, but right now I don’t know whether the result of the autopsy is out because I haven’t spoken with the SCID.”
