Police officers from Moore Divisional Unit in the town have since arrested the two other students who were with the deceased as well as an official of the hotel.
There were rumours among students that the deceased died due to the absence of a life jacket and that he was murdered.
The police have, however, not released any statement on the death.
The university is yet to react to the death, and its spokesperson, Olarewaju Abiodun, could not be reached on his mobile number.
