Over ten students collapse during exams in Kwara varsity

No fewer than eleven students of the University of Ilorin (Unilorin) on Friday allegedly fainted at the ongoing second semester examinations
The incident occurred while the students were scampering for seats at an examination hall.
The incident, it was gathered was caused by exhaustion occasioned by stampede.

A source said one of the students lost his life to the unsavory situation.

But the university authorities denied that.

Said the source: “The incident was caused by a stampede as the chemistry and education students struggled with one another to make use of the 300 capacity seats theatre.

“The incident was principally caused by administrative lapses. The number of chemistry students of that wanted to make use of the hall was 2,000 and that of education 5,000.

In spite of this management wants the examinations to be concluded July 26th and post-UTME test to commence July 27th.”
