It was tragedy on Easter Monday for the family of a 27-year-old undergraduate, Ayooluwa Oladipupo, after he allegedly drowned in a swimming pool at a hotel in the Agbara area of Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The deceased was said to be a final year student of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye, Ogun State.
According to sources, Oladipupo and his friends had gone to Soltrage Hotel to unwind, when he decided to swim with others in the hotel’s pool.
He was however said to have shouted for help under the water, a few minutes after he started swimming.

‘’Although he was rescued by other revellers around, but the amount of water he gulped while drowning in the pool was too enormous that efforts made to resuscitate or save his life after he was rescued failed completely leading to his death,’’ said a source who asked not to be named.
‘’ I think he was a 400 level management student and very humble. His body has been deposited at a public mortuary,’’ the source added.
Confirming the story, the spokesman of Ogun Police Command, Mr Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the incident was reported to the Agbara Police Division by one Ayo Adeseun.
‘’The incident happened on Easter Monday around 10 pm at Soltrage Hotel, Petedo, Agbara and was reported to our division at Agbara by a man called Ayo Adeseun. The deceased was 27-years old; he was rescued from the pool and taken to Oluwalogbon Hospital, Petedo, for treatment, and later gave up the ghost there.’’
