Nigerian student, Kevin Lakoju allegedly commits suicide in India

According to The Times of India, a 28-year-old Nigerian student allegedly committed suicide after jumping off the second floor of his rented accommodation in Sector 41. Police said preliminary probe suggests that the deceased, Kelvin Lakoju, aka 'Biggie' was in depression.

Kelvin had been living in Noida since 2009 and was pursuing a photography course from an institute in Film City. Cops said he jumped off around 11pm on Wednesday January 2nd.
"We have questioned some people and came to know that he was upset for some reasons," said deputy SP, S Chinappa.
"His friends said Kelvin was good at studies. Some personal problem could be the reason for committing suicide," said a senior police officer.
Some sources do however allege that Kevin was pushed, others say he was killed then pushed. The Nigerian Embassy and the deceased's family have been informed about the incident. It is hoped that Nigerian authorities in India will do some investigation into the alleged suicide, and hopefully corroborate the suicide story, if indeed it was a suicide.

  4. Linda he was killed by his landlord, before the incident he had already caLled saying his landlord wants to kill him as @when the father called d landlord didn't pick it was a murder case, but the indians quickly said its sucide to cover it up, so sad that they will cover it up with sucide, d deed had already been done bur in God we leave all to he sees n knows all I am a cousin to kelvin n we are griefed bur we will do noting but pray and say may his gentle soul rest in the bossom of the lord

    1. Yes nigerians rarely commit suicide "in Nigeria". Even oyinbo no dey commit suicide for Nigeria; Nigeria is not a normal place. However, when a Nigerian lives and blends into another society, then that's a different case. Lots of Nigerians are seriously depressed and suicidal in the UK and I'm sure it's the same in other countries around the world.

  10. I suspect foul play here, a promising young man who is over seas just committing suicide over depression? And then of all the suicide methods available he had to choose to jump from a building? I don't believe that story. The Nigerian Embassy really has to come in. R.I.P brother.

  11. This is awful. Nigerians are not suicidal people. I believe he must have been pushed. Can you imagine the kind of ambition he had that took him to India to learn photography. How will he then commit suicide? It is strange for Nigerian men to commit suicide except na spiritual sturvings. This matter should not be swept under the carpet abeg.

  18. RIP Kevin Lakoju but it sounds very suspicious. Depression is common among Nigerian immigrants living in other countries but to commit suicide as result of depression is a bit odd, I would think

  26. Even when I saw just the post without even reading the story I knew something was fishy. Does Indians are terrible and their cops are the worse they would cover any dirty secert. They don't even care about their fellow Indians let alone a Nigerian. That was surely homocide and not sucide. Some killed him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

  28. I don't believe its suicide, am sure some1 else did it and they tagged it suicide cos he's a nigerian.. That's what they do to our people in most of these foreign countries. They're really wicked to us Nigerians.

  39. 'This is impossible, how could a cute guy like this take his own life' a friend screamed...To completely arrogate to yourself that you know what a man is capable of or the intents of their being by mere looking at their faces is like jumping into a river to save your twin (your reflection) you saw at the bottom. It's a huge dose of foolishness. The face is like a festooned prezzie, what's inside you can never tell.
    God bless his soul if otherwise is the case.

Judgin by that pic and d fact that he is 28 and there for a course (meaning he is in india of his own will unlike most folks who go to new countries after ss3 for Bsc), I serxly doubt suicide.

  60. MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, 0% OF NIGERIAN WILL NEVER COMMIT SUICIDE NO MATTER WHAT, THIS GUY IS HEALTHY AND RICH . NIGERIANS DOESN'T FANCY INDIAN WOMEN SO TO SAY HE DID THAT FOR A WOMAN, AND NO WOMAN EVEN NIGERIAN WOMEN CAN MAKE ANY GUY IN NIGERIAN COMMIT SUICIDE BECAUSE NIGERIANS VALUE THEIR LIVES MORE THAN ANYTHING. INDIANS HAVE KILLED HIM AND I WILL KILL ANY INDIAN I SEE AROUND. I THINK HIS LANDLORD HAS BEEN SCAMMED AND HE WISHES TO GET BACK TO NIGERIANS BY KILLING HIS NIGERIAN TENANT , THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY IN INDIA. LET OUR GOVERNMENT STAND UP FOR THIS IMMEDIATELY RIP KEVIN.... I AM VERY UPSET RIGHT NOW.

  68. Why would he go to India to pursue a photography course? Are there no places in Nigeria to pursue photography? I would even think the Nigerian landscape would be better for photography.

  75. im a nigerian living and schooling in india aswell, i for one can say the police here wont do much, the deceased's family have to put more pressure or nothing will be done about it, i cant see any reason why he would want to commit suicide in india,indians are generally scared of us, it just doesnt sound right, and the school he goes to (if its in film city - Whistling woods) is well reputed, the story doesnt sound right but who am i to say? RIP man> God knows best

  76. i've been living and school in india(mumbai) for 3 years aswell (2013 being my 4th) and i for one can say suicide is common with indian students but not a nigerian who's in such a reputed school, the story doesnt sound right to me as its just something that doesnt happen, i would suggest the deceased's family to look into as the indian police are as lazy compared to the police in nigeria. RIP ... again there's definitely more to the story than is being told, its typical india.

  80. He was murdered there is no doubt about that it is the indians life style...suicide, murder, rape etc. they definately concile the act. I was in India for my MA and i saw and heard a lot of stuff before i came back few months ago a guy was also murdered in Mumbai after which he was dumbed at a train station so people will think he was killed by a train. the unfortunate thing is that our nigeria embassy in india hardly do anything to protect there citizens leaving legally in India (students). It is sad though. Uncle Lakoju may God comfort you and the rest of the family.

    ReplyDelete
  81. It is unfortunate! Indians when will you stop killing our students? you are free to commit suicide, rape your girls to death but stop killing our students. (stop the racism) Nigeria pay millions of dollars for treatment every year to the government of India and busy impporting manpower from india to receive the money they will NEVER get in their entire life time in India yet we are paid back with killings of our young men and women. I was a student in Mumbai shortly before i left few months ago a guy was also murdered after which he was dumped at a train station. The Indian police in there usual way will definately conceal the truth behind the death of Kelvin, our embassy also is not helping the situation either... I pray to God to grant the Lakojus the grace to accept this loss. It is well with the family.

PLUS WE ARE A RELIGIOUS NATION! MOSTLY DIVIDED INTO ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY. AND NONE OF OUR RELIGIONS SUPPORT SUICIDE!!! WE KNOW THAT SUICIDE IS A CERTIFICATE TO HELL! I KNOW THE LAKOJU'S VERY WELL, KEVIN WAS A STRONG BOY WITH BIG DREAMS! HE WAS NOT DEPRESSED! HE WAS HEALTHY AND HAPPY! AND HE WAS KILLED BY INDIANS! IN INDIA! AND GOD WILL FIGHT FOR HIM! NOTHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO HIS KILLERS! THEY WILL DIE BY THEIR OWN HAND! GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL KEVIN LAKOJU! MAY YOU REST IN PERFECT PEACE! AMEN!
