The Vice Chancellor of the Kwara State University (KWASU) Professor Muhammad Akanbi is dead.
He was said to have died on Sunday and sources say he will be buried in his Ilorin hometown on Monday.
Details of circumstances surrounding his death are still sketchy as of the time of gathering this report.
Prof Akanbi was the first son of the late pioneer chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practice and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) Justice Mustapha Akanbi.
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, he became the Vice Chancellor of the Kwara State University, Malete in 2019.
Following his death, condolence messages have been pouring in from several quarters with the Governor of Kwara State Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq leading the tributes.
In a condolence message late Sunday, the governor described the development as “painful and shocking but we must submit to the decree of Allah who gives and takes.
“It is against that backdrop that we mourn the Vice Chancellor who answered Allah’s call tonight. He was a true and humble servant of Allah and we beseech our God, the Oft-Forgiving and Merciful, to grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus.”
