The student who committed suicide out of shame...


Final-year university student takes own life after being caught in examination malpractice

AT about 6.13 p.m. on Tuesday, Ayodeji Balogun had written on his Facebook page: ‘What they say about me is not true in school , but God knows better. Thanks, we will see at the END, I luv you all,’ then he went and took his life.

What the late Ayodeji, a 27-year- old final year student of Cooperative Management at the National Open University, Ikeja Campus was referring to as ‘not true,’ was that he was caught in an examination malpractice during the school’s on-going examinations.

According to information available to The Guardian, Ayodele Balogun, or AY as he was popularly known, had earlier on Saturday been caught by an invigilator, called Ese with unauthorized materials, during one of his final papers.

“He was caught last Saturday during our final-year examinations and he was going to face the Senate for the irregularity,” a source said.

His father, speaking from their Ayobo home, said his son’s behaviour had been unusual that evening.
