Photos: Bells University of Technology student dies after hitting her head

A 300level student of Bells University of Technology in Ota, Ogun state named Ruth Idahosa died around 2am this morning after suffering an Asthma attack late last night which led to her hitting her head.

According to her friends, Ruth had the attack while eating, causing her to choke and lose balance, leading to her falling and hitting her head on the ground. She bled.

The students around her said they called the university ambulance but there was no answer. They were left with no choice than to use a hairdresser's vehicle to lift the unconscious girl to the clinic.
"As usual, the incompetent nurses and staff of the clinic started to delay. Then the worst came - she passed on." her friend said. So sad! May her soul rest in peace..amen.

  20. Seems more like an anaphylactic shock to me. Some of the respiratory symptoms are wheezing and shortness of breath. The food she was eating may have triggered anaphylaxis.

    "Allergy to nuts, wheat, sesame, certain types of seafood like shellfish, milk, and eggs are the most prevalent causes."

    Very sad and may she rest in peace.

  28. Another young Nigerian gone. Don't understand why parents would pay so much money for private education and still get nonsense services and no one complains. Such a beautiful soul gone.

  29. this is really sad, she was my ex room mate. so so sad, this isn't the whole story because bells lied to her dad that they were at ikeja hospital while she was already dead in the school's clinic. this is really sad. what really happened was that she was eating and then she got choked and then started convulsing. blood was coming out of her mouth and the students were really scared. if not for the salon stylist who carried her, she would have died in the hostel, the school is now trying to protect themselves and implicate the students. bells need to be thought a lesson. students lives are at stakes here because the clinic is not efficient. I pray for her parents. hope God gives them the strength to bear this.
    you will be missed ruth. aka tolani, okunene, nekpen.

  36. this story is so wrong linda, yes student died but not of asthma attack.Student died of convulsion. she actually died before getting to the clinic cus friends around didnt know what was happening to her so they felt it was asthma cus she had an history of asthma. P.S Bells Student. *EYE WITNESS*. RIP Ruth aka Tolani . you will be missed.

  38. Itz so sad she departed at such an early age and d manner in which she died...In a world of ours today, Asthma isn't meant to be something that claims a person's life wif such ease but jux due to our wack as health system, another soul has departed. Its so saddening and she was meant to be a final year student by nxt session....smh. Death is respecter of no man as dey say, but all I pray is that her humble soul REST IN PERFECT PEACE......AMEN!!!

    1. I can't say I know how u feel cause I haven't been in such situation but I would love to say this to u, even as ur sister died an untimely death, she's still with u in ur heart, think about all the good, bad and ugly things and smile with prayers 4 her soul because she has left this wicked world, I wish I could console u with the right words but I'm speechless cos I felt a pain in my heart wen I read about dis and now seeing ur comment....My dear May God console nd give u and ur family the strength to carry on.

      And please don't let her death go just like that, investigate the cause of her death properly, don't listen to d school cause they would want to cover up and if they are at fault please sue them for negligence and let your sisters death save other student and be a lesson to them....It's not always about the money...

  42. I grief with you idahosa. As an alumni of bells university, I think its time for everyone to know the truth about bells. Someone in the school now should send full details about the corruption and lies in the school to lindaikeji. I knew her well, she was a Jehovahs witness so we used to talk at our Christian neetings. Make no mistake Nigerians, bells is fully responsible due to bad healthcare facilities. Her family must recover soon.

    2. Mr abi Mrs becareful what u say.. Thank u ooo... Because u don't want to sent home for a year the truth shouldn't be said.. U think if nekpen had the choice of staying at home for a year wouldnt ?... Because u want to graduate sharply pole should seize the truth.. God will judge. She doesn't deserve to die.. If u know her u should know what am talking about she was free hearted and loving.. I don't think u know what it feels like to loose a love one.. U don't know the injury it has caused.. She was not just shut from school she was shut out of this life.. If u are wise u should know wat that is.. They shouldn't talk and becareful what they say or u should be the one who shd be careful what u say because u may be the next

  49. Bells university so not a school...lies and negligence all over.the system is bad,we pay heavily every session only to be subcharged every semester.the truth has to be told.ruth deserves justice.her blood will continue to be on the school until justice prevails.the emergency unit of the clinic are to be blamed and this is to the executives,we pay for all necessary and unnecessary yet the basics aren't provided.the truth has to be told.students welfare and health are in ur hands.we have lost our faith in u.don't use students to make profit don't ever do so.rip Ruth

  50. So this is it.
    BELLS IS SCREWED UP.TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
    R.I.p. ruth.
    Now, let's go back to before ruth died.to the greed, senselessness, ignorace' selfishness, non challance, corruption, madness, lust of money, evil circumstances! The recent faintings of students! The sluggish nurses! The dead hospital couldn't prevent someone from death! The dead school! The dead walls! The dead and greedy management!
    They want to sack the portals? Is that what I hear??? Sack yourselves! Not our portals! They are not doctors! They did their best! Why is the management trying to blame them?? They played their roles! They called the ambulance!
    I hate this! Its all corruption! Greed! Lies! Private university! Highly disorganised! Lectures clashing! Etc!
    Now the name of the school is destroyed.come to think of it...did the school management actually acquire a name???!
    Only the best is good for bells! My foot! My damn foot! Your students been fainting and the nurses are 'sluggishing'
    Lack of sensitivity! Lack of love!
    I was ill and I went to the clinic only for a nurse to be harsh cause my body wasn't warm! Is that how it is done! Nurses??? Nurses my damn foot! Infact, my damn feet! Yes! Feet.
    I'm an angry bells student! Just an angry bells student!
    Ruth didn't have to die! I am angry at bells! I want to break the walls! Talk senses here! But who shall listen to the angry bells students?? No one! Do I also have to bring money to be listened to??? Is money also needed for this?? Tell me! Can I also buy your time?? You! Yes! You who is involved in bells evils! Yes! You who is non challant! The only thing is money! You worship money! You serve money! Madness! Complete insanity! Ears shaking at the sound of Naira! Eyes popping at the sight of Naira!
    BABA! INTERVENE INTO YOUR SCHOOL'S MATTER! YOU CARE!BUT THESE PEOPLE YOU HAVE HERE DON'TREALLY CARE! MAYBE FEW OF THEM DO.BUT THEY JUST DON'T.WITH ALL DUE RESPECT SIR,THIS IS YOUR SCHOOL! PLEASE! STAND FOR IT. LET IT BE YOUR POLITICS!

  52. Was there an autopsy that the cause of death? Based on the story, the girl died from lack of oxygen. She was choking on food and therefore, what she needed was for someone to do the heimlich maneuver to dislodge the food and free her airway so that she could breath.

  53. Even though i never really got to know u as a person, it hurts more dan it ought to, to walk down the hostel corridor, look over your room and see an empty bed. *tears rolling down* u remain forever in the hearts of all 300level students and all of bells university students. R.I.P Ruth

  59. Its sad Nekpen, that you had to leave this way. I must confess, Bells University is not a place to study, Its obvious that NUC approval was dodgy. They have a dis -organised , Dis-oriented syllables, so does it affect every of their operation.

  60. If bells students are complaining about virtually everything in dat school, then I strongly believe all they said, the management should be blamed not porters nor students...... its very sad dat Nigerian nurses forget how to do their jobs wen needed....so sad....

  73. We all @ Bells university will miss you. We were never close but when I heard abt how death had cheated you I felt pained. I know we all should blame the school system but to be frank, God was ready to call her to rest. I just pray @ the end of all your struggle on earth you will make heaven. RIP till we meet to part no more.

  74. It's really really sad. Being an ex student of the school I know how all this goes down. Shitty school I must say. God bless your heart and may you RIP. I do hope her parents take it up and something serious is done. No offense to the present students if your education is disrupted but this is someone's life. If they are not cautioned, more lives are at risk.
