200-Level AAUA Student Commits Suicide

Fasunle Feranmi

SUG Advises Against Suicide

Adedokun Boluwatife, Peter Emmanuel, Friday Omosola, 

Tragedy struck this morning when a 200-level student of the Department of Political Science, Adekunle Ajasin University, Fasunle Feranmi gave up the ghost after taking a poisonous substance, yesterday.

According to information gathered, she had visited her neighbor to borrow her power bank. Upon charging for about 5 minutes, Feranmi stood up and said she was leaving but would be back after her neighbor switched on her generator. 

Approximately 20 minutes later, Feranmi screamed out her neighbor's name to come to her aid.

According to the President, National Association of Political Science and Public Administration Students,  Comrade Ayeni Tolu, the deceased was rushed to the hospital, where she was later transferred to the Federal Medical Center, Owo.

 He said, "She was actually getting better but unfortunately the case got worse around 8 pm, yesterday. I gave them a call and she was asked to be taken to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Unfortunately, the ICU was occupied by someone so they couldn't take her there. I called them  this morning and she was confirmed dead around 8 am."

At the time of filing this report, it is not clear why Feranmi took her life.

While some sources claimed that she committed suicide due life to a family issue, others blamed her action on a failed relationship. 

However, a member of the her department, Samuel Agbelusi stated the claims as false.

He said, "Relationship or family issues are  false rumors. We spoke with her mum earlier today and there is nothing like family issue. Regarding the Relationship, she had a boyfriend last in 100level. Just stop the rumor please"

The NAPPAS President also said, "We do not know the particular reason behind her action. We just know that she was not really the free type especially in her 200 level. 

"In her 100 level days, she used to be very lively and jovial but in her 200 level days, she did away from people to some extent. We didn't know what she was going through, and based on the information gotten from her villa mates, she didn't socialize with them; she kept to herself."

On a visit to her villa by our correspondents, it was affirmed that the deceased lived a private life.

“As you can see, this lodge is a self-contained and everybody lives in their private lodges. The only relationship we have with one other is good morning and nothing more,” a lodge mate said.

However, it was gathered that the caretaker of her apartment had earlier informed students living in the lodge not to give out any information about her demise.

The President, Faculty of Social and Management, Comrade Salam Gbolahan stated that her remains had been taken to Ibadan by her family members.

Following this incident, the Students' Union Public Relations Officier, Comrade Oluwafemi Adegbeyin in a Whatsapp post urged students to always talk about their feelings.

He added that the vice-president of the union and other members can always be contacted to talk about personal and pressing issues.
