Ondo Varsity Female Student Commits Suicide

A 200-level students of the Department of Political Science at the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State, Feranmi Fasunle, has reportedly killed herself.

Fasunle, it was gathered, drank a very toxic pesticide, Sniper, on Wednesday night and efforts to save her life were futile.

The reason the student allegedly took her own life has not been known but the management of the university said on Thursday that it will investigate the reason behind the death students..

The deceased was said to have gulped the insecticide in her room and was later rushed to the school’s health centre.

From there she was later referred to the Federal Medical Center, Owo, where she gave up the ghost early Thursday morning.

The Head of Media and Protocols of institution, Mr Victor Akinpelumi, who spoke to journalists on the incident said the student’s death was unfortunate.

Although there were insinuations that Fasunle might have ended her own life as a result of relationship failure, the university’s spokesman ruled out this possibility.

Akinpelumi said, “It is true that she committed suicide. We have not been officially briefed but the only details we have is that she took Sniper and she was later rushed to the state health center and from there she was referred to the Federal Medical Centre in Owo.

“The bad incident happened on Wednesday and we have not carried out our findings to ascertain if she committed suicide over relationship issues but from what we gathered she had no boyfriend.

“The doctor, who spoke with me, said those who brought her said they were closed to her and that she was not involved in any relationship. So, why she did that to herself is what we are yet to know.

“We will further react if we later know why she took that decision to take her own life.”
