Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile-
Ife, Ige Dipo, has committed suicide at his
residence outside the campus of the
university few days after his lover broke
up with him.
It was authoritatively gathered that Dipo,
said to be above average academically by
his colleagues, was found dead in his
apartment at Asherifa area, a stone's
throw from the campus, on Monday.
Dipo's suicide note left for his father
reads in part: "Father, while reading this
message, I would have been gone" before
he allegedly ingested some substance
later discovered to be poison.
The deceased, a member of the Christ
Apostolic Church Fellowship on campus
before his death was said to have met
the lady last year.
It was gathered that Dipo's lover had
been financing his education for over
eight months of their relationship before
calling it quits with him.
The lady, also a member of the same
fellowship, was said to have broken up
with Dipo because of his poor background
and she could no longer cope with him.
This development, according to a source,
was said to have subjected Dipo to
emotional trauma.
He was said to have threatened that he
would commit suicide should his lover
remain adamant on her decision before
he finally took his life.
Meanwhile, Dipo's untimely death has
been described as mystery by his fellow
students, who urged the police to conduct
thorough investigations to unravel the
circumstances surrounding his mysterious
death.
While the news of his death filtered into
the campus, some students who knew
Dipo expressed shock over the sudden
death.
Describing the late student as a person
who lived a lonely life, some students,
who spoke with our correspondent on
OAU campus, said his studious life should
be emulated by fellow students.
Our correspondent further gathered that
his lifeless body had been taken to
Ibadan, his home town by his family
members.
MAY HIS GENTLE SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACH.
