A final year student of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), whose identity is yet to be confirmed has reportedly committed suicide by jumping down from the 2nd floor of a faculty building. The incident occurred on Sunday evening at the Faculty of Arts.
        The deceased was said to be a student of the Department of Actuarial Science, Faculty of Management Sciences. As at the time of filing this report, it was not clear if the deceased left a suicide note. It was however gathered that the victim who was supposed to have graduated before now, had a spillover. The effort to get confirmation from the Public Relations Officer of the University, Mr. Michael Osasuyi, failed as calls made to his mobile phone failed to connect. It would be recalled that a 21-year-old student of the University, Christabel Buoro, also committed suicide, allegedly over failed love affair. The body of the 300-level student of Medical Laboratory Science was discovered four weeks ago at her hostel located on Plot 4 Uwaifo Lane, off Newton Street, Ekosodin, a sprawling students’ community behind the university main campus.
