Edo’s AAU Varsity Lecturer Dies After Sex With Lady, 21
A senior lecturer at the Ambrose Ali University in Ekpoma, Edo State, Dr. Mathew Uwuigbe, has died in a hotel room after an alleged sexual encounter with Angela Jacob, a 21-year-old commercial sex worker.
The incident reportedly happened on Sunday at a hotel in the Mosco area of Ekpoma, Esan west LGA of the state.
Until his demise, Matthew taught as a lecturer in the Faculty of Medical Laboratory Science, Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma.
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 sex 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 sex worker were arrested in connection with the incident and were currently being detained at the state headquarters.
The corpse has been deposited at the mortuary of Oriaifo Memorial Hospital.
Confirming that Uwuigbe was a staff member of the institution, Mike Aladenika, the university’s Public Relations Officer, however, 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 said.
