Lai Oso, a professor of mass communication at the School of Communication, Lagos State University (LASU), has died in a road accident.
TheCable understands that the professor died on Saturday evening on his way back to Lagos from Delta State University (DELSU), Abaraka.
In a statement on Sunday, Sunday Olayinka Alawode, dean of the faculty of communication at LASU, confirmed the death of the professor.
“I am constrained to inform us of the involvement of Professor Muraino Olayiwola OSO, (we all fondly called Baba Lai Oso) in a ghastly auto accident which claimed his life yesterday 24th June 2023,” the statement reads.
“It’s a rude shock to all of us even as we commiserate with mummy Oso, the children, and his entire family, the communication family worldwide, LASU community, and all others.
“Baba, your sudden exit is painful, but we rest in the comfort that you have gone to be with the Lord.”
Oso was the dean of the faculty of communication and media studies between 2011 and 2015.
