A 23- year-old student of the Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, Edo State, Solomon Oboh, has taken his own life.
The late Oboh, a National Diploma, ND 1 student of Public Administration, reportedly hanged himself in his room on Friday night.
His mates could only recall an incident earlier in the day when the late Oboh was asked to spell ‘computer technology’ in the presence of his mates and he could not correctly do so, thereby feeling humiliated.
A classmate said the victim left a note behind, in which he instructed that his mobile phone should be given to one Sandra, from whom he sought forgiveness for his drastic action.
The said Sandra is said to be a coursemate of the deceased and his girlfriend.
“Solomon was in class on Friday and left for home after class, we only came home later in the evening to find him dangling in the ceiling of his room at Bawack area of South Ibie.
“He was a very quiet boy who takes his academics very seriously. He doesn’t go out and never showed any sign of depression whatsoever,” the source explained.
When contacted the Polytechnic spokesman, Mr Mustapha Oshiobugie, confirmed the incident but added that he was yet to be fully briefed on the details of what happened.
