A lecturer at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Prof. Solomon Ogunniyi, reportedly passed away in his office yesterday Thursday November 5. The Professor of medicine and a former Provost of the College of Health Sciences, was said to have passed out in his office and no one noticed for a long time.
It was when people noticed he’d been in his office for a while without exiting that they went in to check on him and found his lifeless body slumped in his chair. Cause of death is not immediately known but no foul play is suspected.

Adieu!
What a sad end for a great achiever! It is an irreparable and irreplaceable loss to the immediate and extended OGUNNIYI families of EGBE in Kogi State. I was a neighbour to his late senior brother (Isaac)and his younger brother (Samuel) between 1983 and 1885 at the the ABUTH, Kaduna. Though we had spoken on phone but I did not have opportunity to see him physically. The picture you posted above is an exact replica of his above-mentioned brothers. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace; and may God grant the families he left behind the fortitude to bear this inexplicable loss, amen!
