A 300-level student of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka in
Lagos, simply identified as Jacobs has reportedly committed suicide in
the school.
Jacob a student of Microbiology, it was gathered, died after taken a portion of ‘Sniper’ insecticide on Saturday, March 19.
He did not leave a suicide note, but he was rushed to the Lagos
University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) almost immediately, but he died on
Sunday afternoon.
Fellow students revealed that Jacob was allegedly, ‘forced’ to take
the deadly liquid by some suspected cultists who wanted him dead for
reasons which could not be ascertained.
Efforts to reach the University spokesman, Toyin Adebule for
confirmation failed , but his deputy, Mrs Nonye Oguama, when contacted,
stated that she had not been briefed yet on what happened.
“I have heard
about it, but until I get to the office tomorrow (Monday), I cannot
tell what really happened,” she stated.
About six months ago, a female
student of the same institution identified as Oluchi Anekwe was
electrocuted on her way to her room in Sodeinde Residence, New Hall on
the campus.
Oluchi, a 300-level student of Accounting, who hails from
Aku in Enugu state, was electrocuted when a high tension wire fell on
her in front of the hall in the campus.
She was immediately rushed to
LUTH but was pronounced dead on arrival.
