A 22-year-old graduate, Feranmi Akin-Akinye, who tragically fell from the 26th floor of the iconic Cocoa House building in Ibadan, Oyo State has been laid to rest.

It was gathered that Akin-Akinye, a graduate of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti (ABUAD), was undergoing cybersecurity training at a company based on the eighth floor of the building.

It was also gathered from a reliable source who pledged anonymity that Akin-Akinye lived with his mother in the Meridian area of Apata, Ibadan, while his father was based in the United States.

The source alleged that Akin-Akinye was instructed to mount a large wall banner at the top of Cocoa House, a task typically reserved for professionals with proper equipment.

“I blame the company for his death. He came from a good home, was humble, and respectful. They asked him to perform a task meant for professionals, and due to his humility, he complied,” the source said.

The source alleged that the company attempted to downplay the tragedy, stating that Akin-Akinye was taken to the emergency ward despite having already passed away, on which his mother was not contacted by the company.

The source alleged that the company prevented a radio station within the Cocoa House from taking photos and quickly covered Akin-Akinye’s body.

He was buried on Tuesday by his church, Winners Chapel.

His father’s siblings are reportedly considering legal action against the company for alleged negligence.
