PATHETIC: How 300L Student Committed Suicide After Lecturer Caught Him Cheating In An Examination | SEE DETAILS

According to report, a lecturer tore the deceased's script, seized his phone and issued him another answer script after he was caught cheating with his phone in an examination hall.

The deceased was said to have left the examination hall, went to his lodge at Onuiyi, in Nsukka Local Government Area of the state, and allegedly injected himself with poisonous substances thought to be rat poison.

He however resorted to jumping from a story building at about 11:34pm, after the poison failed to yield an immediate result.

According to Nkechi Abo, an occupant of the lodge, they rushed to the deceased room where they discovered rat poison, bleach containers and syringes.

Another occupant, Christabel Okpara, said they alerted the caretaker of the lodge when they found Daniel struggling for life after jumping from the third floor. He was rushed to Bishop Shanahan Hospital, Nsukka where he died in the early hours of Saturday.

The caretaker of the lodge who pleaded anonymity said, he reported the incident to the police after all attempt to revive the deceased in the hospital failed.

"When I rushed to the lodge, I saw him on the floor clutching a kitchen knife. We immediately rushed him to the hospital and he was given immediate medical attention. We later returned to his room where we discovered rat poison and bleach. We also saw syringes on the floor. We also saw a rope tied to his ceiling fan.

"He is a loner because I have not seen him with any friend since he parked into the lodge. I was surprised that one girl who identified herself as Scholastica showed up as his girlfriend. I think he must have been suffering from depression silently.

"A friend who stayed with him when he regained consciousness in the hospital said he complained of frustration with his last examination encounter and financial hardship.

"He told him that his family was not giving him enough money for upkeep. He said he was bitter that the lecturer also seized his phone" the caretaker narrated.
