A 300 Level Microbiology student of the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, Hameeda Sanni, has committed suicide over N500,000 indebtedness.
LEADERSHIP gathered that the 20-year-old student took her own life by drinking an insecticide called Sniper.
Sources in the victim’s hostel facility located on the university campus said that Hameedah took her own life on Monday, following persistent harassment from the loan sharks she was indebted to.“Hameeda’s room mates reportedly saw her writhing in pain, in her bed, early hours on Monday after she had taken sniper,” a source told LEADERSHIP in Ilorin on Wednesday.
“She first enmeshed in debt around April 2023 when she was said to record outstanding loans from the apps in the region of N270,000. At that point, her parents and siblings had got involved with the siblings offsetting her indebtedness even without the knowledge of her parents. “Recently again, it was discovered that Late Hameedah could not account for a sum of money said to be over N400,000 kept in her care by her mother. Hameedah had said that she lent out the money to a friend whose mother is being treated for cancer at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, Osun State.
