LAGOS—Indications emerged Thursday that the parents of the University of
Lagos, UNILAG, undergraduate, Miss Oluchi Anekwe, electrocuted on campus on
Tuesday night, have threatened to drag the university and the power distribution
company in the area to court.

was killed by a high tension cable which snapped and fell on her, killing her
instantly.
This is as the University of Lagos Students Union,ULSU, declared today a Black
Friday in honour of the deceased 300 level Accounting student.
A family source told Vanguard that parents of the deceased were determined to
ensure both the university and the power company were charged for the
negligence which resulted in the death of the deceased.
The declaration of Black Friday was reportedly sent to all class pages in the
university, directing students to assemble at an open space, known as the
Faculty of Business Administration quadrangle, clad in black.
Vanguard gathered that lectures would not hold in the university today, as part
of steps to honour the deceased.
And also that the students would proceed to the bereaved parents’ home to
sympathise with them.
A source disclosed that the first phase of the procession took place Wednesday,
shortly after the protest.
The procession According to the source was a candle light session at the
faculty’s quadrangle and that a minute silence was observed for the repose of
the soul of the deceased.

in other faculties except the Faculty of Business Administration, contrary to
reports that the school had been closed indefinitely.
Students of the University of Lagos, UNILAG, took to the streets to protest the
electrocution of Anekwe Wednesday.
