Gbenga Moses, a recent graduate of the Department of Philosophy of Adekunle Ajasin University in Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State, has reportedly died inside his room.

Before his demise on Sunday, Moses, who graduated from the university in January 2023, was reportedly waiting for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) call-up letter.

According to a source, the deceased who was known as Pablo among university students, lived away from the campus where the incident occurred.

The source added the deceased complained about the food he and his girlfriend had earlier eaten at a restaurant.

However, after they had been treated at the hospital, they went home, where the deceased was discovered dead on Sunday morning.

“Gbenga and his girlfriend went to eat at a restaurant in the town and he later complained about stomach ache but they both went to the hospital and later returned home after they were treated.

“But it was surprising that on Sunday morning, he did not come out of his room, on Sunday morning at about 11, he didn’t also pick up his call.

"So the curious neighbours had to break his door and found him dead,” the source said.

The source further disclosed that there was reason to believe the deceased had food poisoning because he had previously complained of stomach pain after eating the food.
