The loan apps mounted pressure on her to pay. Depression sets in, and she decided to gulp a bottle of sniper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cause of Suicide was traced to financial misappropriation. She was entrusted with a significant sum of money by her mother. She crossed paths with a guy on Snapchat and developed a friendship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the boy claimed that his mother was battling breast cancer and urgently needed N500,000, the compassionate and emotional lady decided to help him by lending him half of the N1 million she held for her mother. And the boy promised to repay the borrowed money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, when her mother needed the money back, the boy abruptly cut off all up all contact, blocking her. This left her deeply troubled and in order for her to make up the missing N500,000, she resorted to borrowing money from various apps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hameedat, therefore, managed to gather N450,000 from the loan apps, adding her savings of N50,000 to make up the borrowed N500,000.<\/p>\n<p>The management further maintained that she was reported to have ingested a bottle of pesticide popularly known as Sniper the previous night, and her roommate (name withheld), who had retired to bed early, woke up in the middle of the night to discover her in distress while she was foaming from her mouth and also vomiting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlarmed, the roommate sought help, and she was rushed to UITH before being declared dead,\u201d the statement concluded.<\/p>\n<p>UNILORIN Student Union President, Ologundudu Adesunkanmi, popularly called Royal Prince, confirmed the incident, corroborating the narration of the hostel management, according to a Punch Newspaper report.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cThe Vice-Chancellor, Dean of Student Affairs are very much aware of the issue, and they have reported to the appropriate authority to begin a full-length investigation into the matter. It is sad that the university community lost her in such a devastating manner.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jb_0 X_6MGW N_6Fd5\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"H_7jIs D_F ab_C Q_69H5 E_36RhU\" data-test-id=\"toolbar-hover-area\">\n<div class=\"D_F W_6D6F r_BN gl_C\" data-test-id=\"card-toolbar\">\n<div class=\"D_F ab_C en_0 b_Z14vXdP e_3mS2U I_ZkbNhI P_Z1otBpf\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<hr class=\"M_0 P_0 cn_0\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), is in mourning over the death of 20-year-old Hameedat Sanni, who allegedly committed suicide after an online lover scammed her of N500,000.
