400L Student Commits Suicide Over Failed Relationship

A 400 level law student of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State, has committed suicide after he was allegedly jilted by his lover.

The lifeless body of the deceased identified as Ige Dipo who was known for his academic aptitude was found in his apartment at Asherifa, Ile-Ife, with white foamy substance oozing from his mouth.

He was said to have dropped a note for his father which read, “father, while reading this message, I would have gone,” before he allegedly ingested a substance later discovered to be poison.

The deceased, a member of the Christ Apostolic Church fellowship on campus was said to have met the lady last year and she had been financing his education for over eight months the relationship lasted before calling it quits with him.

 The lady, also a member of the fellowship was said to have broken up with Dipo because he was from a poor background and she could no longer cope with him and the development was said to have caused the deceased emotional trauma and he had pleaded with her and threatened to commit suicide if she remained adamant, before he finally took his life.

Meanwhile, students of the institution and friends of the deceased have described his death as mysterious and urged the police to carry out thorough investigations to unravel the circumstances surrounding his mysterious death.

Efforts to get a reaction from the school authority were futile as officials of the school’s law department feigned ignorance of the suicide.

In a related development, a 30-year-old artisan identified as Romeo Colour, has committed suicide by hanging himself from the ceiling of his room at Opolo Area of Yenagoa Local Government Council Area of Bayelsa State.

Colour, an Indigene of Toru-Ebeni community in Sagbama local government area of the state, it was gathered, had attempted suicide severally in the past but was dissuaded by neighbours and family members. leadership
