A female student of Ebonyi State University (EBSU) identified as Favour Ugwuka has reportedly committed suicide at her hostel in Ishieke, Abakaliki, the state capital.
In a viral video seen by LEADERSHIP, a woman said to be the mother of the young lady accused a lecturer for making her daughter to commit suicide.
The woman, “The lecturer (name withheld) said he is the nest; nobody can teach like him; he should come and carry my daughter who has committed suicide.”
Also, a graduate of the institution identified as Rex Nwome claimed that the girl committed suicide because she has been failing a particular course.
He said, “Favour was my classmate and a best friend to me in the English department, the above lecturer did vow never to allow Favour to graduate.
“You could imagine where she later passed all the courses except that lecturer that she paid another extra year’s tuition fee to rewrite the course.
“Unfortunately, the man failed her again, what resulted to this intense depression is the latest NYSC name that was recently shortlisted and her name wasn’t there.
“The girl really suffered from depression because she was only left wandering about the EBSU seeking help. She was very desperate to graduate and serve. This and many more of the disgusting stories resulted to this mission.
“I wish she didn’t go this far to end her life. RIP Ugwuka Favour till we meet to part no more.”
As of the time of filing this report, the university authorities did not respond to the incident.
When contacted, the police command spokesperson Joshua Ukandu confirmed the incident and said the Ishieke Police Division had sent the report to headquarters.
