Students and lecturers of Auchi Polytechnic are still in a state of shock over the discovery on Sunday of the body of the dean of students’ affairs, Dr. Shola Eshiobo.
His lifeless body was found in his office on Sunday morning.
His wife said he left the house on Saturday to do some official work and when he didn’t return home, she raised an alarm.
Quoting family sources, The Tribune reported that the woman called her husband’s phone late into the night.
When she got no response, she led a search party to his office on Sunday morning.
Eshiobo’s vehicle was found at the car park but the party didn’t see the man.
Moments later, he was found in his office, dead.
Public Relations Officer of Auchi Polytechnic, Mr Mustapha Oshiobugie, described Eshiobo’s death as unfortunate.
