A first-year Business Administration student at the University of Ilesa, Gbolahan Ojolo, tragically died on Friday evening after being electrocuted while using his mobile phone as it charged during a thunderstorm, okay.ng reports.

The incident occurred in his hostel near the Prototype Engineering Development Institute (PEDI) junction in Osun State.

According to the university registrar, Funso Ojo, the electrocution was reportedly triggered by a lightning strike during the storm. The university promptly informed the police, who have launched a thorough investigation. The deceased’s body was taken to Wesley Guild Hospital morgue after police clearance.

The university expressed deep sorrow over the loss, stating, “The entire University community mourns this painful loss and prays for the repose of Gbolahan’s soul. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, classmates, and the Department of Business Administration.”
