The University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED), Ondo State, has been thrown into mourning following the sudden death of its Registrar, Mr. Ezekiel Adeniran, who passed away in the early hours of Thursday.

With the circumstances surrounding the death of the 41-year-old still sketchy as of press time, a source disclosed that the deceased died in his residence in Akure, the state capital.

The source stated that “he was found dead this morning in his residence. But I believe the police would unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident.”

While describing the news as devastating, the Head of Media and Protocol of the state government-owned institution, Mr. Isaac Oluyi, noted that the university community was in shock, particularly as the late registrar was actively in his office on Monday, July 14, 2025.

Oluyi, in a statement, stated that “The devastating news (of the registrar’s death) has thrown the university into mourning, as it was shocking!

“He was still at his duty post on Monday, 14th July, 2025. At the time of writing this statement, the cause of his death is yet to be ascertained.

“Mr Adeniran assumed office as the third substantive Registrar of UNIMED on the 6th January, 2025 and remained so until his sudden demise today, 17th July, 2025.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with his immediate family and the entire University community in this trying moment. May God repose his soul!”
