UNN student commits suicide this morning

A student from the university sent me a mail about what happened in their school early this morning. The students of University of Nigeria, Nsuka, woke up to find one of their own hanging from a rope in an unfinished Franco building beside the hockey pitch in their school. Roommates of the dead student said he left the room around 2am this morning and they thought he had gone to study, only for his corpse to be found dangling from a rope this morning. He's a 3rd year Physics and Astronomy student in his early 20's. A purported suicide note which read, "The controversy is over" was discovered near him.

The dead student, now identified as Onyebuchi Okonkwo had a mental illness last year and was hospitalized at UI for one month. So so sad. May his soul rest in peace...amen

    3. Yes you shouldn't judge, but the bible also says no one has the write to take their life or another person's life except God! So I also agree with the previous comment, hell ni!

  9. Very sad indeed. I wonder what will become of him at judgement😥. This is what comes with thinking your problems are bigger than God. There's NOTHING absolutely impossible for him to do.

  15. How are we sure the Guy actually hung himself. What is some people actually perpetrate this dastardy act? How are we suppose to know. They made it look like a suicide and everybody gawks it. Umnnn Whatever happens, we pray we dont have reoccurence of this in future. Amen. (No forensic investigation in 9JA) SOOOO SAD

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. So go and specialize in forenstic investigation naw? If there is no school for that in Naija join a group of people that are also interested and self-teach yourselfs! Then go to a proper official to get your course regulated or you can demand that schools carry a course in forensics! Instead of you to sit by your computer doing nothing and wishing for forensics investigation in nigeria! Lazy thing!

      Delete
    2. I thought same. What if there's someone behind this. There's need for forensic in this country.

      Delete
  16. two things might have happened 1. it's either some gang of people made him hang himself (maybe cult folks). 2. or he's passing thru some challenges and refused to share with people that can counsel or advise him.
    WHICH EITHER WAY, THE LORD WILL CONSOLE HIS LOVED ONES MOST ESPECIALLY HIS PARENTS.

  22. How bad could his condition have been to warrant suicide? Such a waste of human life.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Staged...I'm almost certain this is staged. Nigerians have perfected in another way to commit murder by faking suicide on victims.

  28. Why conclude it was suicide? If they coduct an autopsy they would come up with a different thing entirely and I am so sure about that, remember they sid he left around 2am to read, call me naïve but when I was in school I didn't go to night class in my boxers. I smell rat here. He's roomates should be the first to be interogated

    ReplyDelete
  29. Pls I suspect the dude was killed and hanged to make it look as if he commited suicide...... this case should be thoroughly investigated oh... hmmm

  30. Hi Linda dis is my very first time of posting on ur blog. I feel dis topic is so sensitive think abt the mother or family of dis young man. U dnt need 2 put up his pic to prove a point dt ur story is true I mean it's sad dt he committed suicide but den his family shouldn't go thru d pain of seeing his dead body online. I'm jst saying my opinion oh. Post my comment

    ReplyDelete
  31. I find it very hard to sympathize with suicidals! Sorry I just do! Cause what ever you ar going thru, there's someone out there going tru a lot worse! So many ppl r homeless, so many ppl don't have families, money, jobs...so many ppl out there hav ill health and r battling to stay alive! No matter what yo going tru, there's a lot to be grateful abt and suicide is NEVER an option!

  44. Sad but people who commit suicide are very selfish people who leave others to clean up the unexplained mess they left behind

  45. Nigerian schools need student advice and support services where students can reach out for assistance when in need or break from tedious academic workload or even burden of life. Nigeria is full of stress biko! poor boy! And for those unsympathetic nitwits passing judgement remember the journey is not for the swift but the the that shows mercy!

  46. u see the hours of 12-3am are the times demons are at work in
    top gear. we should be prayerful at such times. this guy might have been manipuated spiritually to go hang himself.
    there are so much forces working against humans. prayer is key and very essential.

  52. Hi Linda
    I heard he left a suicide note....pls dig deep and get the content of the note, it will give us a clue if this is murder or not

  53. Maybe I watch too much of CIS,but its possible its murder and made to look like suicide. A lot happen in Universities these days.may his soul rest in peace

    ReplyDelete
  54. I believe someone did this to this boy, maybe cult boys. He can't just take away his life like. The should investigate this matter. Even the room mate is a prime suspect.

    ReplyDelete
  55. You guys should not judge. I have a very stong feeling he was murdered. If he was going to study would he have been wearing boxers? Means someone must have taken his pants off plus seems he's an intelligent boy, doubt he did it to himself. I'm extremely saddened by this.

  56. nigerians don dey commit suicide like westerners abi..... Pple hav bin havin, stil hav nd wuld continue havin problems, may God give us strength to face our problems head on instead of resortin to vices like suicide.

  58. Some cult boys am sure r behind dis. D suicide letter has a lot of meaning THE CONTROVERSY IS OVER. Something like dis happened in uniben years back where some cult guys went into a guys room n told him 2 hang himself n also made him write suicide note dis is their new tactics. They make u hang urself so dat no1 will know dey r behind it.

    ReplyDelete
  59. @bloglord u made sense. Christian should be vigilant cos d devil ur adversary goeth about seeking whom he may devour. parents pray ceaselessly for ur children, children pray for ur future and every other thing. God will help us as long as we long to Him.

  60. They should do an autopsy,and check for finger prints on his body. That young man was hung. He didn't commit suicide.

    ReplyDelete
  61. AN AUTOPSY SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT ON THE BODY, AND THEY SHOULD CHECK FOR FINGER PRINTS AS WELL. THIS IS CULT RELATED MURDER.

  74. Linda i dont know why i believe this guy was bullied, maybe he couldn't take it anymore, but that is not a good reason to die. please can you write an article about it, teach people to speak out, don't just hold back, don't die for nothing.

    Such a pity ... Dont hang your self, find someone to speak to,

    ReplyDelete
  75. you know its a sad one, given his' history of mental illness. he probably was been ostracised or ashamed of his history. whatever happened, it is lesson to all living that we should be friend enough to be there for someone 'going through'

    ReplyDelete
  76. He killed himself, he had the chance to hold on the railings or the bricks beside him if he was forced to hang himself.....olumayo

    ReplyDelete
  77. He looks dirty, seems like someone who must have struggled on the ground, this might be murder, he might have been forced to write the suicide note at gun point and subsequently strangled. Let's not be quick to conclude suicide, I'm sure as a human being, survival instincts would have made him grab that rail or step on the stone or even wrap his arms around that wall, hanging is not such an easy and comfortable way to die u know. I smell something fishy.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Well..I will add dat no one knows d true story, whether he actually killed himself or was killed! His room mates would help by tellin whether he wore shorts out of d room or he was puttin on trousers, whether he carried his books since dey thot he was goin to read, and d state he was in d previous day and wen he slept!!!

    ReplyDelete
  79. mental sickness is no joke, kills the very best of intellectuals. If you know someone who has mental health issues. advise them to get help ASAP

GOD help us.we need to be more prayerful.truly the days are evil haven said that i wish it would be properly investigated.all those talking bout hellfire should be silent if we christians spend our time praying and reaching out to ppl perharps this wld not have occured.JESUS wasnt interested in ppl going to hell.he came to save.this is truly sad.

    ReplyDelete
  84. This is sad. It's not the time to be arguing about he'll fire and judgement. Only God knows what led to this. It's a huge pity. This only used to happen in Western countries. Our tradition doesn't bring us up to think that committing suicide is a solution to any problem. Please let's not let such foreign ideas to permeate into our society.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Too bad. The society has broken down. Please let this case be well investigated. It has happened before in nsukka(1988/89) and it was latter found to be cold blooded murder. Please dig deeper.High Chief.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I have never posted on this site before. If he truly suffered from mental illness, be it schizophrenia, severe depression or bipolar, you need to be educated about the illness, including the agony and torment he must have experienced before you all make your judgments. I ‘m not justifying what he did, but he must have been very very sick. Please show some empathy, especially to those that think they know for sure where he is going to end up. May none of us or our family members ever experience mental illness in Jesus name. Amen

    ReplyDelete
  89. We do not take mental illness seriously in our culture so this is the effect of that. May his soul rest in peace. if he was killed, the truth will always come out

  90. R.I.P..Dude studied Physics ad Astonomy..and also had a mental breakdown..u be surprised the amount of pressure this really brainy guys put on themselves..they can lose it over some little setback like scoring 80% instead of the usual 90%

  97. hw can his soul rest in peace when he killed him self, is he the only one that has problem

    ReplyDelete
  98. If u know a thing or 2 about depression,its like a mental illness of its own. So if someone takes his own life as a result of depression,its obvious the person is not normal anymore. Depression is something very few understand so plz we have neither d knowledge nor d right 2judge.

  101. This looks like a murder...look at his hands...seems they are tied. Foul play, foul play. And there is nothing wrong with Linda posting the picture. This is a blog. If you are offendd at the pictures, start your own blog and Censor the pictures. Good luck.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Only God reads the hearts of every individual. Only Him who sees in the darkness and in the light knows exactly what happened. We can deceive our fellow human beings but not God. Evil that men do leaves after them. From all indications it look like it was not a suicide. The CID's must get up and do their work. This is a widow's son and God fights for widows and orphans so God's anger must avenge this death.

  103. Suicide : A way out or A permanent registration in the school of #Epic fail? May God have mercy on his soul if truly it was suicide.

  104. 4 me i feel it is a cultist attack bcos there is no plausible reason y a brilliant first class student who uses his brain well enough to be on 4.7 should just end his life abruptly.
