A Kogi State Polytechnic lecturer, Yakubu Nataala, on Monday, October 1, slumped and died at his residence in Lokoja, Kogi State.
The lecturer suspected to have died of frustration, is said to have received his last salary from the state government in July 2017.
A source close to th deceased lecturer averred that his inability to meet up with his financial needs had been a source of concern to him.
The Public Relations Officer of the institution, Luke Tijan, who confirmed Nataala’s death, said although the lecturer had not received his salary for months, information at his disposal indicates that he died from complications from an appendix operation he carried out earlier.
“We lost one of our lecturers in the polytechnic. He was earlier operated upon for appendicitis. He was among some of the lecturers that had not been paid salaries due to the screening,” he said.
