It was a sad day at the Kwara State University as a lecturer at the Department of Crop Production, College of Agriculture, Kwara State University, Malete, Dr. Solomon Osunlola, committed suicide.

He said that Osunlola joined the services of the institution on a full-time appointment in 2010.
“However, during staff verification, it was discovered that Osunlola retired from the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, before taking up a full-time appointment with KWASU.
“But, in spite of this discovery, the university, in August 2017, converted Osunlola’s appointment to a contract engagement on compassionate grounds,” he said.
Sources indicated that the school had conveyed its conversion of Osunlola’s appointment to him via a letter signed by the Registrar.
The sources, however, said that the loss of his full-time status led to a steady decline in Osunlola’s mental stability as he became depressed and “started misbehaving”.

“Another friend also took him to a cleric for prayers and counselling after noticing that he was depressed,” the sources added.
A family source said that relations broke the deceased’s door when he did not come out in the morning on Friday where they discovered that he that he had committed suicide.
