Student commits suicide after losing school fees

A student of the Federal Polytechnic has killed himself by drinking some chemical substance after losing his fees and that of his friend to an online betting in Ogun State, Nigeria.

The deceased committed suicide when his colleagues were preparing for their first-semester exam.

“The deceased used his school fee to play an online betting but lost,” reports said.

He swindled his friend who shared a room with him by getting his password and used his fee to play and also lost.

The school had warned that no student would be allowed to take an exam without completing their registration.

“He was reportedly rushed to the school clinic where he was later referred to a specialist hospital outside the school in Ilaro before he was pronounced dead,” reports said.
