A young man who was in his semi-final year studying law at the Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, Osun is said to have taken his own life.

400-level student Oladipo Ige is said to have suffered bouts of depression before he tragically committed suicide on Sunday evening.

Details surrounding the incident are still sketchy as his housemates reportedly reached an agreement not to speak about Oladipo’s death.

One thing that is known however is that the deceased was found with a rope around his neck and he was also said to have left a note.

He was described  as a brilliant student who loved to listen to music and was fond of isolating himself.

One of Ige’s colleagues identified simply as Ayotola said:

“Dipo, I don’t know what went wrong in your head in the last few hours of your life but I am sorry. I am sorry that you saw life as not being worth it. I cannot begin to imagine the fear and hopelessness you felt in the last hour of your life.

“Depression and unworthiness must have had you so deep in their black pit of despair. It breaks my heart the most that there was nobody you could talk to, vent to; nobody to be a lifeline at that time. A phone call could have saved your life.”

Ayotola is also said to have stated that she knew the late ‘Dipo since their matriculation day and that their parents worked in the same office.
