A 200-level male student at the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) in Kwara State reportedly committed himself due to financial difficulty.
The deceased, whose identity had not to be confirmed, belonged to the Faculty of Communication and Information Sciences (CIS).
It was also discovered that the student had a cumulative average of 4.5 academic standing at the Department of Mass Communication before to his sad demise.
The event occurred at his own property on the Oke-Odo axis of the Tanke community in Ilorin, the state capital.
According to university sources, the deceased committed suicide as a result of financial problems.
It was also revealed that the deceased’s father died a few years ago, and that his mother, a retired schoolteacher, had taken over financial responsibility for his education since then.
The deceased’s financial troubles allegedly began when he resumed school last year.
The development is believed to have prompted his colleagues to raise donations to cover his tuition and purchase food for him.
However, it was discovered that the dead opted to take a lethal substance last weekend, shortly after his flatmate had departed for lectures, leaving a note for his flatmate citing his inability to cope with his financial circumstances as the cause for his suicide.
It was discovered that his flatmate raised the alarm about the event after they returned from lectures.
A top administrative officer in the school’s management, who requested anonymity, confirmed the occurrence to journalists in Ilorin on Tuesday.
He called the incident as frightening and stated that it had put the university and its students in grief.
