Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A final-year student of the Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, EBSU, identified as Favour Ugwuka has allegedly committed suicide.<\/p>\n

Miss Ugwuka committed suicide in her hostel at the Ishieke Campus of the university on Thursday.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that the deceased, a final year student in the Department of English passed all her courses but repeatedly failed a particular course, whose lecturer had vowed she would never pass.<\/p>\n

In a melancholic video seen online by our correspondent, a woman said to be the deceased\u2019s mother blamed a lecturer for making her daughter commit suicide.<\/p>\n

According to the woman, who was seen lamenting in the video, \u201cDr Enyi said he is the best, that nobody can teach like him. He should come and carry my daughter who has committed suicide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, a graduate of the institution who identified himself as Rex Nwome claimed that the girl committed suicide because she had been failing the particular course repeatedly.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cFavour was my classmate and a best friend to me in the English Department. The above-mentioned lecturer did vow never to allow Favour to graduate.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could imagine where she later passed all the courses except that lecturer\u2019s, she had to pay another extra year\u2019s tuition to rewrite.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately the man failed her again. What resulted in this intense depression is the latest NYSC names that were recently shortlisted, and her name wasn\u2019t there.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThe girl suffered a lot of depression because she was only left wandering about the EBSU seeking help. She was very desperate to graduate and serve. This and many more of the disgusting stories resulted in this suicide mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish she didn\u2019t go this far to end her life. R. I. P Ugwuka Favour till we meet to part no more.\u201d<\/p>\n

When contacted, the Ebonyi State Police Command\u2019s spokesman, DSP Joshua Ukandu, confirmed the incident.<\/p>\n

He said that the matter was reported to the headquarters.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cYes, the command received the report of suicide by a female student.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time of filing this report, efforts to get the reaction of the university Authorities were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
