According to reports, the deceased reportedly set himself ablaze at the back of the hostel building before he was found by his lodge mates.

The report has it that Kenneth had complained to one of his cousins on Tuesday that he might kill himself due to the stress he is facing and the said cousin dissuaded him from such thought.

He was said to have borrowed N200 from the said cousin this morning to buy something and locked him up in the room.

Subsequently, it was discovered that he used the money to buy petrol to commit the act. He was rushed to Ihiala General Hospital where he was rejected and then rushed to a hospital in Nnewi where he died.
