Mr. A. O. Subair, a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics, University of Ibadan, has died after he set himself ablaze at his residence located at Phillipson road in the University.
The deceased hailed from Kaduna State.
He has been buried at Akinyele public cemetery.
The late university lecturer had recently resigned from the institution but was yet to vacate the staff quarters before his death.
Confirming the incident, the Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities, Prof. Deji Omole who described the incident as pathetic, stated that it was a major loss to the union.
