A 400-level student at Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, identified as Rashidat Shittu, has reportedly committed suicide over her academic status.
The deceased was said to have committed suicide by drinking “sniper” ahead of the institution’s forthcoming examinations.
According to sources, the student was rushed to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) but was pronounced dead on arrival.
A staff member who was part of the medical team that attended to her at UITH said she was brought in dead.
“Her colleagues said she was having issues with her academic status in school. She later informed her colleagues when she started feeling pain that she had drank Sniper.”
A resident who witnessed her burial (Janazah) at the Muslim cemetery in Osere in the Ilorin metropolis said that the deceased was buried at the facility by family members and staff of the student affairs unit of the KWASU.
When contacted, the KWASU Director of University Relations, Mrs Saeedat Aliyu, said, “I haven’t been able to reach the officers in charge. I’ll revert as soon as I do.”
