FUTO student, 18, commits suicide

A 100-level student of the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO), Imo State, Daniel Uchenna Nwafor, has committed suicide over health issues.

Nwafor, a student in the Department of Chemistry hung himself on Tuesday his off-campus living quarters at Umuchima, Ihiagwa in Owerri West Local Government.

It was gathered that the late student was facing health challenges and had returned to his lodge with his mother seven days before but killed himself two days after his mother left his lodge.

He was said to have left a suicide note for his mother.

Confirming the development, the Public Relations Officer of the institution, Uche Nwaelue, wondered why an 18-year-old would take his life.

“Somebody brought the picture to me though. I have not visited the scene but I wonder why an 18-year-old person would take his life; this is an end time,” she said.

Orlando Ikeokwu, the Imo State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), said that remains of the deceased had been taken to the mortuary.
