Mathew Uwuigbe, a senior lecturer at Ambrose Ali University in Ekpoma, Edo State, has died in a hotel room after an alleged s#xual encounter with Angela Jacob, a 21-year-old commercial s#x worker.
The incident reportedly happened on Sunday at a hotel in the
Mosco area of Ekpoma, Esan West LGA of the state.
Eno Ikoedem, spokesperson of the Edo state police command,
while confirming the incident, said the lecturer passed on moments after
checking into the hotel with the lady.
“On October 5, 2026, at about 8 pm, the command received a
report that Matthew Uwuigbe, a lecturer at Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, had
lodged at a hotel in Ekpoma and engaged the services of a 21-year-old s#x
worker, Angela Defa Jacob,” Ikoedem said.
“He subsequently sent the woman to purchase water for him,
and upon her return, she found him lying dead in the room.”
Ikoedem said the hotel owner, the manager and the s#x worker
have been arrested in connection with the incident and are currently been
detained at the state headquarters, while the corpse has been deposited at the
Oriaifo Memorial Hospital mortuary.
Mike Aladenika, the university’s public relations officer,
confirmed that Uwuigbe is a staff member of the institution, but said the
incident happened outside the campus.
“We are not denying that he is our staff, but whatever he
did and what happened, it is his private life. The girl in question is not our
student, and everything happened outside our institution,” he told PM news.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, AAU Online News, a blog that
relays reports within the university, also confirmed Uwuigbe’s death,
describing it as “shocking”.
“It is with deep sadness and shock that we received the news
of the passing of Dr. Matthew, a lecturer in the Faculty of Medical Laboratory
Science, Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma,” the post reads.
“His death is a painful loss to the university community,
his colleagues, students, family, friends, and loved ones. We extend our
heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues, students, and everyone
mourning this great loss.”
