Ilara-Mokin, Ondo State – A woman identified as Oluwasola Victoria Adebayo slumped and died while waiting for her daughter, who was writing the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Ondo State.
The tragic incident occurred on Monday, April 202, 2026, in Ilara-Mokin Junction, Ifedore local government area of Ondo state.
Mrs Adebayo reportedly took ill shortly after arriving at the junction while accompanying her child to the CBT centre.
As reported by Daily Trust, sources said the deceased complained of weakness before slumping unexpectedly at the examination centre.
The sources said attempts by sympathisers to revive her proved abortive as she was pronounced dead at the spot.
It was gathered that the child was inside the examination hall when her mother collapsed and died.
The state police spokesperson, DSP Abayomi Jimoh, said the remains of the deceased have been released to her family.
“The Command notes with deep concern a sad incident involving the sudden death of a woman in Ilara Mokin. The family of the deceased has since been contacted, and upon thorough checks, the remains of the deceased have been released to one Mr. Apapa Olamilekan, who identified himself as her son and an officer of the Nigeria Legion, Akure.
“The Command commiserates with the family of the deceased and urges the public to remain calm.”
