The management of the University of Ilorin has described as utterly tragic the death of Sanni Hameedat, one of its students who died by suicide allegedly over a failed financial transaction.
A statement by the University's Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr Kunle Akogun, on behalf of the management, described the incident as "a most horrible way to die, especially for a promising young lady who had every opportunity before her to make it big in life".
Mr Akogun expressed the University management's sympathy with the parents, siblings, friends and colleagues of the deceased and prayed that God gives them the fortitude to bear the loss.
The management then counselled the students of the University to be wary of the company they keep in order not to fall into the traps of scammers.
"The University of Ilorin is reputed to be a bastion of moral and academic education and we are surprised that any of our students, upon all the moral and academic instructions inculcated in them, could have associated with such undesirable element of a supposed boy friend, and even went ahead to take the extreme step of taking her own life", the University management lamented.
