Sh0cking: Auchi Polytechnic Dean Found Dead in His Office

The Dean of Students’ Affairs, Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi in Edo State, Dr Shola Eshiobo, was found dead in his office on Sunday, 18th of April, 2021.

According to Tribune, his lifeless body was discovered when his wife raised the alarm after trying to reach him but to no avail.

A family source who confirmed the incident said,

“He left the house on Saturday, 17 afternoon that he was going to the office to attend to some official matter. He normally goes to the office when he has so much in his hands to do. At about 9 pm when he was not yet back home, the wife started calling his line but there was no pick-up and the call was not returned. She tried until late, still no response,” the source explained.

“Early on Sunday morning, she raised the alarm and told people around that the husband went to the office on Saturday but did not return. They went to the office, they saw his vehicle at the car park but when they got to his office they saw him dead in his office.”

The source added although no foul play was suspected, an autopsy would be carried out to ascertain the cause of the death.

“The corpse has been deposited at the mortuary. Although we are not suspecting any foul play, for now, an autopsy will be carried out,” he added.
