Rescue of Student from Attempted Suicide at UNILORIN

An unfortunate event occurred at the University of Ilorin, where another Mass Communication student was saved during an attempted suicide.

This incident took place on the evening of Monday, February 3, 2024, as reported by the Guardian.

Onlookers discovered the student with a rope around his neck in some nearby vegetation and quickly alerted others for help.

He was immediately taken to the university’s medical facility for prompt care.

This rescue follows a tragic event where a fellow student from the same department took his life in his home in the Oke-Odo section of Tanke, Ilorin.

The deceased, who remains unnamed, consumed a toxic substance last week while his roommate was out attending classes.

A suicide note found at the scene revealed his struggles with financial difficulties amidst the ongoing economic crisis.

According to a university insider, the student faced mounting financial pressures despite receiving help from peers with his tuition and living costs.

A high-ranking university official confirmed the distressing events, expressing concern over the challenges faced by students during tough economic times.
