A 23-year-old 100 level student of Osun State University, Ikire campus, Juba Orisajafor, has killed himself.
He reportedly drank poison on Tuesday and died few hours later after he preached against suicide on his WhatsApp.
It was learnt that Orisajafor on Tuesday morning had updated his WhatsApp status, condemning suicide.
His post on WhatsApp reads: “Often time I ask myself, Why do people commit suicide? Perhaps because they’ve got no one to encourage, motivate or guide them or because they felt there is no solution to whatever problem they are going through. Perhaps they forgot there’s more to enjoy when there’s life (hope) is not lost”.
One of the students in the hostel where Orisajafor was living saw him lying unconscious in front of his hostel around 6:30pm after taking a bottle of a sniper.
