16-Year-Old Prospective Medical Student, Dies After Acing UTME And Post UTME

A 16 year old boy has died, days after passing his Post UTME to study Medicine and Surgery at the University of Ilorin. In a mail sent to SDK, his relative wrote: ”The person in subject was a close relation of mine, his name was Mubarak Razak by name and 16 years. .

He applied for Medicine and Surgery at University of Ilorin after being denied admission last year when he applied for Anatomy scoring 206 in UTME, immediately after graduating in a private secondary school in Ilorin, Kwara state. .

He then struggled to have a better UTME score, 327, this year and passed POST-JAMB excellently scoring 72% when he suddenly died after a brief illness last week Saturday night. .

He was survived by 3 siblings, his father, a civil servant(Mr Razak Owolabi) and Mother,a government school teacher(Mrs Aminat Razak). I just taught I should share this story because to me he left an indelible mark in this world, he was a nice, quiet boy and so young. And I believe that it’s not how far you go in life but how well.”
