400 Level student of OAU commits suicide

A 400-level Law student of Obafemi Awolowo
University, OAU, Ile-Ife, Ige Dipo, has committed suicide at
his residence outside the campus of the university few days after his
lover broke up with him.
It was authoritatively gathered that Dipo, said to be above average
academically by his colleagues, was found dead in his apartment at
Asherifa area, a stone’s throw from the campus, on Monday.
Dipo’s suicide note left for his father reads in part: “Father, while
reading this message, I would have been gone” before he allegedly
ingested some substance later discovered to be poison.
The deceased, a member of the Christ Apostolic Church Fellowship
on campus before his death was said to have met the lady last year.
It was gathered that Dipo’s lover had been financing his education
for over eight months of their relationship before calling it quits with
him. The lady, also a member of the same fellowship, was said to
have broken up with Dipo because of his poor background and she
could no longer cope with him.
This development, according to a source, was said to have subjected
Dipo to emotional trauma. He was said to have threatened that he
would commit suicide should his lover remain adamant on her
decision before he finally took his life. Meanwhile, Dipo’s untimely
death has been described as mystery by his fellow students, who
urged the police to conduct thorough investigations to unravel the
circumstances surrounding his mysterious death.
While the news of his death filtered into the campus, some students
who knew Dipo expressed shock over the sudden death. Describing
the late student as a person who lived a lonely life, some students,
who spoke with our correspondent on OAU campus, said his
studious life should be emulated by fellow students.
Our correspondent further gathered that his lifeless body had been
taken to Ibadan, his home town by his family members.
