So Sad! Reason Unilorin Student Committed Suicide Revealed

Another case of suicide has been recorded in Unilorin after one of its student identified as  Adigun Olawale Emmanuel, 27, reportedly committed suicide. According to reports, the late Adigun, took his own life after he failed in his final year project last session and was made to repeat the current one before his death. The Nation reports that the deceased who was in the Faculty of Agriculture is believed to have drunk a pesticide, Sniper. It was gathered that Adigun had a grade of Second Class Upper Division but that with the failed project he would necessarily have to drop to Second Class Lower Division. The deceased in a social media post left behind indicated that he had been accused of ‘copy and paste’, in research his works.

Some neighbours of the deceased claim he had been subject to depression since failing his exam. Further investigation revealed that the deceased had told a female friend he was going to end his life. The friend, however, pleaded with him not to and face life like every other person. The deceased from his Whatsapp page had uploaded a picture of the Sniper at about 5.14 pm, some two hours after he had lamented online about his situation to his friend. He said in short statements: ‘same research work. He said I did copy and paste. Ever since then, things changed from bad to worst. Am in a deep mess @the moment. My life don tire me. I feel like dying. I wish I can sleep and not wake up again”.His friend however responded with words of encouragement, “Don’t give up bros, it gets better”. And as if he had accepted the admonition, the deceased had then responded, “I pray so, Thanks a lot for your concern. I appreciate a lot. May God continue to bless you. Amen.” His friend said: “Wale abeg, calm down. Abeg You In the Name of God. Nothing Happen wey God no know about ooo please don’t do anything stupid ooooo”. Spokespersons of both the university and the Kwara state police command, Kunle Akogun and Ajayi Okasanmi,said they were yet to be briefed about the incident.  Photo Credit: Getty
