A 200-level Mass Communication student of the University of Ilorin (name withheld) took his own life following his inability to meet the financial demands of his academic needs.
It was gathered that the undergraduate committed suicide after all his roommates had left home for other engagements.
He was pronounced dead by medical experts.
Sources said that the deceased had been battling with funds to cater for academic needs.
He was said to have drank poisonous substances to avoid anyone preventing him from engaging in the act around Tanke axis of the State.
He left a suicide note, stating reasons for his actions and appealed for forgiveness from friends and families.
His fellow students narrated that before his death, the student was on a Cumulative Grade Point Aggregate of 4.5 academic standing.
They added that to ensure he maintained the standard, everyone had been assisting him with their little funds and food stuff to continue his academic pursuit.
He was being sponsored by his mother a Widow.
Said a source: The deceased committed suicide “due to alleged inability to meet his financial obligations because of the current economic situation in the country.”
The source added that the unfortunate young man lost his father a few years ago, leaving his retired school teacher mother with the responsibility for his academic obligations.
However, some people have described him as wicked and selfish and asked where his cowardly behaviour would leave his poor mother. “He failed his mother said a student”, who pleaded anonymity.
